Living at the Haven Hotel until 1926, visitors noted that meals were taken at a communal table, with everyone welcome to join in. Following dinner, there was often a musical interlude with Guglielmo accompanying his guests on the piano. At the time, the Sandbanks Peninsula consisted of just two hotels, a coastguard station and a few houses, so this flamboyant family would have been the talk of the town. Indeed, a local boatman often spotted Guglielmo through the window, standing in front of what he describes as ‘a great flat instrument, several feet square. The Marconi Lounge now has a plaque honouring his achievements and a collection of old photographs of the Haven Hotel under Guglielmo’s experimental reign.
