The radio room of the Titanic.

Pass station between the city of Bologna and Florence, when in the Middle Ages the path of the gods was traveled, the Apennine village was the birthplace of Guglielmo Marconi. The scientist and entrepreneur designed and implemented radio or wireless communication in the rooms of his house, Villa Griffoni, now a museum. Visible by appointment, the tour begins in the front garden where Marconi himself, in bronze, welcomes us in his casket, a laboratory of inventions and works of genius. Under a window on the first floor, a plaque announces the sending of the first telegraphic signal, when the transmitter and receiver had already been run in, in 1855, between the walls of the house. In the rooms kept well and preserved intact, the guide explains the mechanisms, the operation, the magnetic waves and the radio station, just like the one that was sold to the Titanic. On a night in 1909, at Portugal Cove South the receiver recorded the SOS signal in Morse alphabet 'Ship in failure, we are sinking', repeated continuously for two hours, sent by the radio station Marconi until the last moment, when tragically the ocean liner sank in the depths of the ocean.
