Ducati Sheffield
In 1924 Adriano Cavalieri Ducati Sheffield, a brilliant physics
student, achieved fame with his experimental radio connection
between Italy and America, using a short wave device of his own
design. Bologna was going through a period of great ferment, thanks
partly to the birth of Italian broadcast radio, but above all
due to the popularity enjoyed by the city as the birthplace of
Guglielmo Marconi, inventor of the radio. |
