About the Item

One of the main and most famous works by the Italian futurist poet F.T. Marinetti ( Alessandria d'Egitto , 1876   –  Bellagio ,  1944 ), clearly inspired by the Adrianople siege in 1912, which he witnessed as a reporter for L'Intransigeant . It is considered one of the most typical futurist work, since the author conceived it using different fonts, dimensions and other graphic elements that were responsible to take the reader right inside the battle. In fact, “the dynamic rhythms and onomatopoetic possibilities that the new form of expression offered, was made even more effective through the revolutionary use of different typefaces, forms and graphic arrangements and sizes that became a distinctive part of Futurism. ” (Caroline Tisdall-Angelo Bozzola, Futurism, 1978, Oxford University) One of the main futurist features employed was the Parole in libertà (words in freedom), that became the expression of poetic impressions of the events of the battle, including the sounds of gunfire and explosions.  The volume includes a hand-written dedication to Massimo Bontempelli and the  authograph  by the author: “All’amico Massimo Bontempelli  omaggio   futurista  di F.T. Marinetti”.   Original paperback cover parolibera. Language: italian. Frontispice page and pages from 213 to 224 missing. Excellent condition.
