It is from Italy that we launch through the world this violently upsetting incendiary manifesto of ours. With it, today, we establish Futurism , because we want to free this land from its smelly gangrene of professors, archaeologists, ciceroni , and antiquarians. For too long Italy has been a dealer in secondhand clothes. We mean to free her from the numberless museums that cover her like so many graveyards.

Filippo Tommaso Marinetti

1876-12-22 — 1944-12-02 · Reino da Itália

Filippo Tommaso Marinetti was an Italian poet, editor, and literary theorist. He is best known as the founder of Futurism, an artistic and social movement that he described in his 1909 "Futurist Manifesto". Marinetti advocated for speed, technology, youth, and violence, and Futurism had a significant impact on visual arts, literature, theater, and music. His work sought to break with tradition and celebrate the dynamism of the modern era. Marinetti believed that art should reflect the constantly changing world, with its machines, industries, and vibrant cities. He was a controversial figure, with some of his ideas being associated with fascism.
