Nikola Tesla: the inventor, the scientist, the visionary, but who really was the man behind it all? When author Barbara Daddino moves into a Long Island cottage where Tesla himself once lived, it opens up a long and personal history that begins with the town’s humble beginnings up until modern day. Barbara ultimately sees Tesla as a man of humanity. Her new biography/memoir Tesla’s Cottage: The Lost History of Tesla at Wardenclyffe (And How it was Recovered), explores the brief period of time Tesla spent in the village of Wardenclyffe, all while weaving it with parallels in her own life and uncovering a nearly-forgotten history. Barbara Daddino was recently honored by the Sector for Public and Cultural diplomacy of Serbian Ministry for Foreign Affairs as one of 85 ‘Tesla Ambassadors’ for her efforts in preserving Tesla's legacy as the owner of the ‘Memorial house of Nikola Tesla, in Wardenclyffe’ and for her remarkable book “Tesla’s Cottage.”
