Marconi & Cornwall

It was 1901, a few years ago, on December 12, Marconi, a brilliant Italian engineer, was able to transmit a transatlantic signal between Poldhu, Cornwall (Click on the photo to enlarge) and Newfoundland, Canada.
It was the first wireless communication and we can say, the radio, TV, Internet were born at that moment, in fact, in some areas of Latin America, the telegrams are known as "marconis" remembering its origin.
You can find more information at BBC or typing "Marconi Cornwall" keywords in Google.
