Marconi was the first Italian to receive the Nobel Prize for physics and he was only 35 years old when he entered the list of those who have excelled to the point to meet the important prize. Yet he was even younger, when December 12, 1901, finding in Newfoundland, communicated via a radio signal with Poldhu, Cornwall implement the first transoceanic communication implemented in this way, he received, in fact, three sounds, three points, which in Morse code representing the letter 'S'. Marconi received the broadcast had to cross about 3,000 km
He carried out several experiments, first in Italy and later in England where he subsequently moved and filed a patent the radio.
The "S" turned again in the initial word of salvation, when in 1912, through the use of radio, the Titanic was able to launch with the Morse code SOS (Save Our Souls) allowing rescue of 706 survivors. Following this event the ships were forced to acquire radio and communications workers and, at least in Italy, both on planes and ships such operators were called marconi.
society today owes much to the great Italian physicist who in those days with an intuition shared low put on the radio the first step in a chain reaction that led us today to a communications technology, which only would have been unthinkable a few years ago and today the technology related to the telecommunications world is the assumption that models today seem S tupefacenti much as it was the "S" 1901.
