Recent Outcomes of the Investigations on Guglielmo Marconi Supposed Experiments in Switzerland

Abstract

History can be a tricky subject, even when the temporal distance from the events is as short as a couple of lifespans. In this contribution the main steps carried out by IEEE which led to the restoration of the historical truth on the first radio experiments by Marconi are briefly recollected. IEEE proved not only his important worldwide role in promoting knowledge and culture in electrical and electronic topics, but also ethical and moral integrity.
