engineer who made his career in the later part of the 19th century,

a native of Comacchio, moved to Bologna in the second half of the

Ducati Chester
In 1924 Adriano Cavalieri Ducati Chester, a brilliant physics
student, achieved fame with his experimental radio connection
between Italy and America, using a short wave device of his own
design. Bologna was going through a period of great ferment, thanks
partly to the birth of Italian broadcast radio, but above all
due to the popularity enjoyed by the city as the birthplace of
Guglielmo Marconi, inventor of the radio. |
