2026 is a year full of anniversaries for collectors, the oldest of which is the 150th anniversary of the invention of the telephone, patented by Alexander Graham Bell on March 7, 1876.
We are proud to announce a major exhibition curated by our member Marcello Cecconi dedicated to the History of Telephony, which will be held from March 17 to April 19 in Pavilion C1 of the Cittadella Galileiana in Pisa.
