Description

Guglielmo Marconi

TLS in Italian, signed “G. Marconi,” one page, 8 x 10, personal letterhead, Villa Odescalchi Civitavecchia, August 20, 1930. Letter written to The Honorable Peter Prince Ginori Conti, Senator of the Kingdom, Florence. Translated in full: “I have received your letter of August 18 where you recommend the young Tito Greppi as an excellent radio operator who could work for the Firm ‘Marconi Italia.’ I must answer you that the above Company employs no radiotelegraphists. I assume, therefore that you probably meant the firm ‘Italia Marittima’ on which depend the radio operators who embarked in the Italian Merchant Navy, which is headed by the Marchese Solari. I will, therefore, send your letter to the Marchese Solari. Most cordial greetings.”Intersecting folds, light scattered creases, and staple holes to the left border, otherwise fine condition. Pre-certified PSA/DNA and RR Auction COA.
