Ittiri celebrates Marconi Day at the Radio Museum with a private museum exhibition dedicated to the memory of Mario Faedda, its founder, and to the 130th anniversary of radiotelegraphy. The Radio club Coros group has managed and organized various activities within the facility since 2016. Marconi Day at the museum is usually celebrated on April 25, the birthday of Guglielmo Marconi and a holiday for the concomitant anniversary of the Liberation of Italy.
The opening of the museum exhibition is a special event, one of those things not to be missed, a special place where radio amateurs are enthusiastic custodians, with the exhibition of memorabilia and vintage radios that are over a hundred years old. The Mario Faedda radio museum is a place where the history of telecommunications and the resulting social evolution coexists with the passion for electronic technology and radio waves in particular . The main event of 2025 is the 130th anniversary of the birth of radiotelegraphy, or what is now universally known as “Wireless”. We remember the young Marconi, who in 1895 invented the radio with wireless telegraphy, effectively generating the first wireless transmission that defeated the competition of the time.
To celebrate the event, the Coros Radio Museum, the Italian Radio Amateurs Association, Porto Torres section, with the patronage of the municipality of Ittiri, are organizing the conference “130 years of wireless, from the first spark to the present day”, stories of the radio and anecdotes that will be told by the speakers to the guests who want to be present at the radio museum. In addition to the conference, some of our operators will be busy in the radio room of the Mario Faedda Radio Museum where 3 amateur radio stations have been set up, two HF and one satellite. The special call IR0APTT will be used as the activation callsign. All connections with the special callsign from 24 to 26 April 2025 are valid for obtaining the Marconiano 130 years of Wireless certificate, which will be sent all over the world .
