17 May marks World Telecommunications Day, an occasion to reflect on the impact that instruments such as Morse's telegraph and Bell's telephone have had in connecting the world.
But progress has not only been technological: over time, radios, televisions, microphones and cameras have taken on increasingly sophisticated forms, becoming true design objects.
These innovations combined functionality and aesthetics, transforming communication into a visual and cultural experience. In Turin, Italy, RAI Radio and Television Museum offers a valuable opportunity to rediscover this fascinating evolution.
