In the autumn of 1894 Marconi performed his first experiments with radio waves
in the attic of his parents house in Bologna. Initially he was only able to
achieve distances of a few metres, but he made significant progress, steadily
increasing the distance over which he send the signals. He managed to send
signals over a distance of about 2 kilometres, and realising the possibilities
of the system for maritime communications he gave a demonstration to the
Italian authorities. Unfortunately they were not impressed, and as a result
Marconi moved to England.
