Goretti at Pianoro. German physicist Heinrich Rudolf Hertz (1857-1894) substantially advanced knowledge of electricity. His experiments demonstrated the existence and examined the nature of electromagnetic waves, thereby opening the road to some of the most important achievements of modern technology.
