Villa Griffone, Historic villa in Sasso Marconi, Italy.
Villa Griffone stands on a hilltop with two lateral wings added in 1852, containing numerous rooms dedicated to scientific exhibitions and research facilities.
In the late 19th century, Guglielmo Marconi conducted his first wireless transmission experiments at Villa Griffone, leading to the development of radio communications.
The villa houses the Marconi Museum, which displays original equipment, documents, and interactive exhibits about the evolution of radio communications technology.
Visitors can reach Villa Griffone by car or public transport from Bologna, with guided tours available through advance reservations at the Marconi Foundation.
The Room of Silkworms inside Villa Griffone served as Marconi's first laboratory where he achieved his initial wireless signal transmission success.
