In 1929 Radio Vaticana began broadcasting. A program prepared by Marconi himself. At the beginning it transmitted in English, Spanish, Italian and French. Marconi worked mainly in Italian and English, and conducted many experiments to increase radio capabilities.
Thirty years later, in 1959, John XXIII founded the Vatican Film Library, although recordings in the Vatican date back much earlier: The first is from 1896 and records a walk of Pope Leo XIII in the Vatican gardens to show that he was in good health.
