“Il Grammofono” tracks the story of the diffusion of music through the phonograph, gramophone and, later, the radio. The volume is accompanied by a remarkable photographic and documentary apparatus. Since the beginning of the twentieth century, the spread of gramophone changes the way of understanding music, resulting in infinite consequences, such as the emergence of a powerful recording program or the recording industry. It is the story of a century full of discoveries and evolutions that, thanks to the intuitions of men of genius, has brought music to be entertainment for everyone, not just for a narrow elite.
