Story : The third episode of the Speciali Superquark deals with the story of a brilliant man, creator of many inventions and owner of 22 patents: a new type of paper for printing, a smokeless kerosene lamp, fizzy fruit drinks, etc. A man who dreamed of running words on an electric wire to communicate at a distance, an invention that opened up boundless worlds with unforeseen repercussions to this day: the telephone. The man was Antonio Meucci, a student at the Academy of Fine Arts in Florence, linked to the movements for the Unification of Italy. From Florence he emigrated with a theater company to Cuba, which at the time had one of the largest theaters in the world. After 15 years he left for the United States, a free land where everything was possible and to which exiles from half the world went.
