Antonio Meucci was born in Florence in 1808. In the 1830s, he got into trouble with the rulers for his political views. After a period in prison (监狱), he decided to move to Cuba. There he continued working on his inventions. He discovered that sounds could travel through wires(金属丝, 电线). In 1850, Meucci moved to the US, where he thought he would have more chances to develop his ideas. When his wife became ill, he developed a simple telephone system so that she could “phone” him from her bed while he was working.
