About
Museum dedicated to Roberto Clement Galletti Di Cadillac’s life and work. Galletti was the neglected pioneer of wireless telegraphy. You will discover the history of his station of wireless telegraphy and you will be impressed by his ingeniousness.
In 1912, Roberto Clemens Galletti set up in Champagneux one of the most powerful transmitting station of the world at the time. Unfortunately, History was to forget about Galletti's work because of the torment of the first World War… Clemens Galletti carried on his scientific studies.
