Wind Beneath the Madonna in Milan: Milano, cradle of Futurism


Milan. "I start a revolution against the bestial, nauseating idea of \u200b\u200bthe book belongs to the past." So Filippo Tommaso Marinetti in 1912, the manifest Destruction of syntax. Wireless Imagination. Free words . On the centenary of the birth, Milan, birthplace of the movement, Futurism celebrated with two exhibitions: the Royal Palace "Futurism 1909-2009," and today, the Foundation of the Bells, "FTMarinetti = Future." Over seventy works, portraits and a documentary section reflecting the diverse artistic activity. Detonator '900, Marinetti proclaimed "style of Matter, rattling literature and art of the vital energy of reality. Momneto against desecrating the morbid romanticism, Futurism affirmed the ideology of transition. Extensive emphasis was given to the volume Zang-Tumb Tumb : the emphasis on life in progress, influenced by technology and advertisement, placed the future in a confrontation with the new media. Nucleus of the exhibition, the largest table-word: Bombardement Adrinople of 1915, as well as those of Balla, Buzzi, Cangiullo, CarrĂ , and Depero. Bearers of the speed of airplanes, trains and Explosives, the free words put into play new mechanisms fruit: the audience was invited to what Roland Barthes called it "a practice body of joyful communion," where the typeface, emancipated the page spectacle, became the gravitational field. Today, perhaps, the futuristic visions have been realized, and the charm of that energy is so naive yet so vital through the documentation that has left us.
