===Early years=== Guglielmo Giovanni Maria Marconi<ref>{{cite book|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=QA0oAQAAIAAJ|title=Atti della Accademia di scienze, lettere e arti di Palermo: Scienze|publisher=Presso l'accademia|year=1974|page=11|issn=0365-6322|oclc=4272244}}</ref><ref name=":1">{{cite web|url=https://antenati.cultura.gov.it/ark:/12657/an_ua35877952/Lynox99|title=Marconi Birth Certificate}}</ref> was born in [[Palazzo Dall'Armi Marescalchi, Bologna|Palazzo Marescalchi]] in [[Bologna]] on 25 April 1874, the second son of Giuseppe Marconi (an [[Italians|Italian]] aristocratic landowner from [[Porretta Terme]] who lived in the countryside of [[Sasso Marconi|Pontecchio]]) and his [[Irish people|Irish]] wife Annie Jameson (daughter of Andrew Jameson of Daphne Castle in [[County Wexford]], a land agent, and wife Margaret, daughter of James Cochrane of Glen Lodge, [[Sligo]], and sister of [[Scottish people|Scottish]] [[naturalist]] [[James Sligo Jameson]], and granddaughter of John Jameson of [[Dublin]], the [[Scottish people|Scottish]] founder of [[whiskey]] distillers [[Jameson Irish Whiskey|Jameson & Sons]]).<ref>{{cite book|last=Sexton|first=Michael|year=2005|title=Marconi: the Irish connection|publisher=Four Courts Press|isbn=9781851828418}}</ref><ref>{{cite book|last=Raboy|first=Marc|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=RqVHDAAAQBAJ&q=marconi+Marescalchi&pg=PA19|title=Marconi: The Man Who Networked the World|page=19|place=New York|publisher=Oxford University Press|year=2016|isbn=9780199313587|via=Google Books}}</ref> His father, who was a widower with a son, Luigi, married Jameson on 16 April 1864 in [[Boulogne-sur-Mer]], France. Alfonso, Marconi's older brother, was born in 1865. Between the ages of two and six, Marconi and Alfonso lived with their mother in the English town of [[Bedford]]. Having an Irish mother helped explain Marconi's many activities in [[United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland|Great Britain and Ireland]]. When Guglielmo was three years old, on 4 May 1877, Giuseppe Marconi decided to obtain British citizenship. Marconi could have thus also opted for British citizenship anytime, as both his parents had British citizenship.<ref>{{cite web |title=Guglielmo Marconi |url=https://www.biography.com/inventors/guglielmo-marconi |website=Biography |date=22 January 2021 |publisher=A&E Television Networks}}</ref>
