Italian poet and editor, founder of the Futurist movement (1876-1944)
People connected to Filippo Tommaso Marinetti
He wrote the manifesto that turned speed, machinery, and violence into an aesthetic—then helped write another manifesto a decade later, for Mussolini.
Filippo Tommaso Emilio Marinetti was born 22 December 1876 in Italy and moved through Symbolist circles at the Abbaye de Créteil between 1907 and 1908 before breaking toward something harder. In 1909 he published the Manifesto of Futurism, a document that glorified the industrial age and set the terms for a movement that would ripple through European art. A decade later, in 1919, he co-authored the Fascist Manifesto. He died 2 December 1944, his name inseparable from both the avant-garde and the regime that consumed it.
