Hi Steve,
Guglielmo Marconi spoke without much of an Italian accent  - he was half
Italian his mother being Irish. Marconi himself was supposed to have
jokingly said that the Irish-American tenor John McCormack spoke better
Italian than he did. The recording you mention dates to 6th December 1935
and I think the BBC record library may be the holder of the original source
material.
Best Wishes
Mike Quinn
