Helston Sasso Twinning Association

Helston Sasso Twinning Association On the 12th December 1901, Marconi heard the signals from Poldhu at a temporary station in St. Johns, Newfoundland.

Helston is twinned with the Italian town of Sasso Marconi because of the link with Marconi, the wireless pioneer, whose family home was outside the town of Sasso, near Bologna. After experimenting as a youngster with the newly discovered radio waves Marconi developed a method of communication, the first high power radio transmitter and built a station on the cliffs at Poldhu to demonstrate that ra

dio waves were capable of bridging the Atlantic. The Helston and District Twinning Association are keeping alive these links today.
