The one thing that I came to discover about Italy is that these old Churches, though historical, are living and breathing parishes. This means they have the old as well as the new. This spot honors two people--the great Renaissance painter Raffael and the 20th century inventor of the radio and resident of the United States Gugliermo Marconi. Marconi was the first to broadcast a radio signal across the Atlatnic and the place where the transmission took place can be seen at Marconi beach, part of the National Seashore, on Cape Cod near Orleans.
