The creation of the thematic digital library entitled “Il mondo in tasca” (The world in my pocket) is part of the cooperation between the Museo Galileo and the MUMEC - Museo dei Mezzi di Comunicazione in Arezzo. It is also part of a rich calendar of events marking several key anniversaries, namely the 150th anniversary of Guglielmo Marconi’s birth, the 100th anniversary of Italian radio broadcasting, and the 70th anniversary of Italian television.
This project aims to reconstruct the main milestones in the history of telecommunications through photographs, texts, and in- depth studies, showcasing how technology has brought about constant and widespread ease of access to information, which is now always at our fingertips.
