# bio (long form, separated for readability)
bio: |
  Guglielmo Giovanni Maria Marconi was born in April 1874 in Italy, trained as a radio-frequency engineer, and built the first practical wireless telegraph system using radio waves. In 1897 he founded The Wireless Telegraph & Signal Company in the United Kingdom, turning lab work into industry. The Nobel Prize in Physics came in 1909, shared with Ferdinand Braun for contributions to wireless telegraphy. By 1929 King Victor Emmanuel III had ennobled him as a marquess. Two years later he set up Vatican Radio for Pope Pius XI, and he died in July 1937 with his name still synonymous with the technology.
