Fondation Marconi and museum of the radio
In 1895, Guglielmo Marconi and his local assistant Maurice Gay-Balmaz made the first wireless transmissions in Salvan.
One hundred years after these first tests, a foundation was created to perpetuate the memory of this Italian physicist. A public space in the centre of the village of Salvan recalls his experiments and invites visitors to plunge into the world of telecommunications.
