abstract:
Guglielmo Marconi's career in the Italian Royal Navy is a known story,
whereas his career in the Italian Royal Army is less known. He was a complementary
officer in the engineers corps, the military «Genio», from June 19th, 1915 to August
31st, 1916. In 2016, thanks to the discovery of unknown military documents kept at the
Army's Historical Institute of Culture and the military «Genio», it was possible to
reconstruct the scientist's services, activities and missions. He was the father of the first
military applications of radiotelegraphy during World War I.
