Antonio Meucci, an Italian inventor, is known for developing a voice-communication device that some consider the precursor to the telephone. He established a communication connection in his New York residence, linking his bedroom to his laboratory. Although he submitted a patent caveat in 1871, Alexander Graham Bell was later awarded a patent for a similar technology in 1876. Meucci’s role in the telephone’s invention has been recognized by the Italian Ministry of Cultural Heritage and the U.S. House of Representatives.
