Creation of the Radio Museum was possible thanks to the assistance of the Lecce province, which bore the cost of buying the equipment and setting up the exhibitions and also included the Museum into the Provincial Museum System. The Museo della Radio in Tuglie is quite an exception in Southern Italy; the materials exhibited and preserved are of great value and provide a fascinating journey through the hectic world of the history of radio broadcasting. The Micali collection is logical and continuous; almost without interruption it documents the evolution of the broadcasting and reception systems and takes us back on a historically and culturally reliable journey. From the Edison automatic telegraph transmitter (USA, 1893) to crystal receivers and to those of the period between 1920 and 1960-70, the articles collected in the Museum and systematically exhibited there tell a piece of the history of civilisation and of the  technology  thanks to which we have now achieved today's speed and complexity in the field of communications. The Museum also has a bibliographical section (books and magazines) concerning the history and technology of radio communication. It is going to be expanded into a "specialised" section of the Library of the Museo della Radio.
