Guglielmo Marconi sent and received his first radio signal in Italy in 1895, proving the feasibility of radio communication. He is credited with others as inventing a system of sending radio signals via wireless telegraphy. By 1899 he flashed the first wireless signal across the English Channel. On December 17, 1902, a transmission from the Marconi station in Glace Bay, Nova Scotia, Canada, became the first radio message to cross the Atlantic from North America. In 1901, Marconi built a station near South Wellfleet, Massachusetts that on January 18, 1903 sent a message of greetings from Theodore Roosevelt, the President of the United States, to King Edward VII of the United Kingdom, marking the first transatlantic radio transmission originating in the United States. This station also was one of the first to receive the distress signals coming from the RMS Titanic.
In 1930, Marconi became President of the Royal Academy of Italy. Autograph letter signed, February 15, 1930, on his brand new Royal Academy stationery, written to a friend who had just received employment at the Social Insurance Fund. “Dearest Peter, I send you with all my heart my deepest congratulations on your new employment at the Social Insurance Fund.” Marconi goes on to wish him the best in the coming year and inquire about his next destination.
