The facts on the card
The card carries these facts from its Wikipedia article.
- This led to his being largely credited as the inventor of radio and sharing the 1909 Nobel Prize in Physics with Ferdinand Braun "in recognition of their contributions to the development of wireless telegraphy." As an entrepreneur and a businessman, Marconi founded The Wireless Telegraph & Signal Company in the United Kingdom in 1897.
- In 1929, he was ennobled as a marquess by King Victor Emmanuel III, thus becoming the 1st Marchese di Marconi.
- In 1931, he set up Vatican Radio for Pope Pius XI.
