A message from the inventor of wireless telegraphy, written on board his yacht when leaving Messina for Genoa ('Benissimo mare calmo'), announcing his itinerary and ending affectionately, 'abracci tenerissimi and thousand kisses'.

Marconi, of Italian and Irish parentage, carried out his first successful experiments with wireless telegraphy at Bologna in 1895. The Marconi Wireless Telegraphy Company was established in London two years later.
