Prof. Francesco Parasce Marconi, grandson
of Guglielmo Marconi, the founder of the world’s very first wireless factory to
Chelmsford, will talk about his grandfather, the Marconi family and how
Guglielmo’s discoveries and inventions continue to play an important role in
modern communications both here on Earth and far out into space. This
brilliance and dedication however, had its personal costs in family and
politics, Francesco will share his personal insight into an amazingly driven
and visionary individual who had such a profound influence on creating the
modern ‘connected’ world.
The timing of this talk is particularly
appropriate in the centenary year of the outbreak of the WW1 in which Marconi
equipment designed and built in our town became so important to our Navy, Army
and the Royal Flying Corp.
