RADIOMARELLI

Magneti Marelli remembers its history in the new 'telecommunications' section of the Museo Nazionale della Scienza e della Tecnologia Leonardo da Vinci in Milan, which has three new areas dedicated to 'television, telephony and telegraphy'.

Magneti Marelli has entered the new 'telecommunications' section of the Museo Nazionale della Scienza e della Tecnologia Leonardo da Vinci in Milan, which this autumn inaugurated three new interactive areas dedicated to 'television, telephony and telegraphy'.

Magneti Marelli is participating as a partner in the new initiative by Italy's largest technical-scientific museum, displaying the products of its Radiomarelli past in the radio and television sectors, along with today's technology in the area of automotive electronics.

Magneti Marelli's sense of presence in the new sections of the Museum can be found by following the thread of electronics and telecommunications that has characterized its entire corporate history: In addition to the main activity geared towards automotive technologies, Magneti Marelli's roots and vocation for consumer electronics can also be found in its past tied to the world of radio and television and to the highly successful and popular Radiomarelli devices.

A world which today the company transfers into the automobile interior - through its telematic, navigation and entertainment devices - with the aim of converging Internet, telephony, the world of PCs, radio and the display of information and contents with high added value for the motorist inside the car.Founded in 1953, we are now the largest science and technology museum in Italy.

The Museo Nazionale della Scienza e della Tecnologia Leonardo da Vinci is housed in an early 16th century Olivetan monastery and is named after Leonardo da Vinci, the extraordinary Renaissance intellect who mastered art, science and technology. Through the years the museum has collected and exhibited objects, machinery and evidence that retrace the key phases of the country’s scientific and technological evolution. The educational activities developed in its collections and interactive labs (i.labs) engage visitors in exciting experiences that lead to the discovery and exploration of science. The museum's aim is to help people develop an interest in technology, share a passion for science and discover the fascinating nature of the past. It is also a centre for debate and research, a lively meeting place and an active laboratory where innovative cultural projects and management methodologies are constantly investigated.
