It does sound dumb and no you are not supposed to use an apostrophe. It is a simple plural.
One of Marconi's early inventions was the radio.

This has no verb and isn't a sentence.
Perhaps you meant
One of Marconi's early inventions was the radio.
The plural of invention takes an s. The singular possessive requires apostrophe, then s. The plural possessive requires s, then apostrophe.

I would say "One of Marconi's early inventions was the radio."

it should be inventions which signifies plural.An apostrophe "S" makes it possesive which wouldnt fit in this sentence
