Encyclopedic overview
Sasso Marconi (Emilian: Al Sâs) is a town and comune in the Metropolitan City of Bologna, Emilia-Romagna, northern Italy. It lies in the lower valley of the Reno, about 17 kilometres (11 mi) south-southwest of Bologna, at the northern edge of the Bolognese Apennines.
The municipality is closely associated with Guglielmo Marconi, the Italian inventor and pioneer of wireless telegraphy. Marconi carried out his early wireless experiments at Villa Griffone, the family residence at Pontecchio Marconi, now part of the Marconi Museum and Mausoleum complex.
