Guglielmo Marconi, 1st Marquis of Marconi (Italian: 25 April 1874 – 20 
July 1937) was an Italian inventor and electrical engineer, known for 
his pioneering work on long-distance radio transmission[1] and for his 
development of Marconi’s law and a radio telegraph system. He is often 
credited as the inventor of radio, and he shared the 1909 Nobel Prize in 
Physics with Karl Ferdinand Braun “in recognition of their contributions 
to the development of wireless telegraphy”. An entrepreneur, 
businessman, and founder in Britain in 1897 of The Wireless Telegraph & 
Signal Company (which became the Marconi Company), Marconi succeeded in 
making a commercial success of radio by innovating and building on the 
work of previous experimenters and physicists. In 1929 the King of Italy 
ennobled Marconi as a Marchese (marquis).
