There is a church in Florence called Santa Croce. Within the church are burials and memorials, many of which are dedicated to famous Italian physicists. The most famous, Galileo, is buried here. Galileo is probably most well known for his work involving telescopes. There is also a small memorial for Enrico Fermi and Guglielmo Marconi. Fermi made a lot of progress in the field of nuclear physics and Marconi is credited with inventing the radio.
