The Commemorative Bust by Vincenzo Jerace The Representation of Marconi Post Mortem (1937-59)

View through CrossRef
Shortly after the opening of the Sala Marconi at the Museum on 10 October 1956, the exhibition dedicated to the artefacts from the ship Elettra was documented by a curious photomontage that includes, in the centre, the plaster cast bust of Guglielmo Marconi. Commissioned by the Museum to a trusted plaster cast artist, Cesare Gariboldi, the work documents how the iconographic legacy developed after Marconi’s death leading to the commission of numerous works of art.
