Rome Honors Guglielmo Marconi with Major Exhibition at VIVE
The 'Guglielmo Marconi. Vedere l’invisibile' exhibition is currently showcased at the VIVE – Vittoriano and Palazzo Venezia institute in Rome, honoring Nobel Prize winner Guglielmo Marconi (Bologna, 1874 – Rome, 1937) until April 25, 2025. This event commemorates his 150th birthday and delves into his life and activism, utilizing archival resources from Istituto Luce and Cinecittà alongside multimedia displays. The exhibition is organized into eight sections and includes hundreds of photographs, documents, artifacts, and films, complemented by interactive elements. VIVE director Edith Gabrielli emphasizes Marconi's connection to the site, particularly noting the overlap of his 1909 Nobel Prize with sculptor Giuseppe Tonnini's work at the Vittoriano. Since 2020, VIVE has functioned as a venue for temporary exhibitions for the Ministry of Culture.
