Abstract

This paper briefly reviews the essential stages of the telecommunication networks that have developed, mainly at the European level, before the discovery of electricity and the invention of the electric telegraph. In particular, it focuses on the most widespread of these, the only one that really deserves the name of "telecommunication network," the one implemented by Claude Chappe in France between the late 1700s and early 1800s.
