  Life in Italy: Antonio Meucci, the Inventor of the Telephone
Due to his involvement in the Italian reunification movement, Meucci was constantly under surveillance by the Grand Duchy of Tuscany's police forces and so immigrated to Havana, Cuba in 1835 to work as the Superintendent of Mechanics at the Tacon Theatre.
It did not make him rich, but it allowed for Meucci's continued experimentation with his Teletrofono, that is until much of this money and property was lost after being swindled by false creditors.
A tragic case of rheumatoid arthritis crippled his wife Ester, but necessitated the creation of a working prototype of his invention in order to communicate with her within his home.

In 1854 Meucci's wife Ester became definitively invalid because of a serious form of rheumatoid arthritis, whereas Meucci continued his experiments.
In August 1870, Meucci reportedly obtained transmission of articulated human voice at a mile distance by using as a conductor a copper plait insulated by cotton.
While he was recovering from injuries that befell him in a boiler explosion aboard the Staten Island Ferry, Westfield, Antonio Meucci's financial and health state was so bad that his wife Ester sold his drawings and devices to a second-hand dealer to raise some money.
