Others in Canada disagreed with the Congressional resolution, some of whom provided criticisms of both its accuracy and intent. A retired director general of the Telecom Italia central telecommunications research institute (CSELT), Basilio Catania, and the Italian Society of Electrotechnics, "Federazione Italiana di Elettrotecnica", have devoted a Museum to Antonio Meucci, constructing a chronology of his invention of the telephone and tracing the history of the two legal

In the 1880s Meucci was credited with the
