Abstract:
The founder and leader of the futurist
movement. Married Benedetta Cappa, a futurist writer and artist, in 1923. Collection
includes minor manifesto manuscripts, generally typewritten, sometimes translated or
excerpted; a number of minor literary manuscripts; and 20,000 slides that reproduce the
contents of Marinetti's five scrapbooks. Material on Benedetta includes handwritten
corrected drafts of her three novels, and a number of essays and speeches. Some
correspondence suggests the central role that Marinetti and Benedetta played relative to the
other futurists, whose activities the collection selectively documents via manuscripts,
photos, clippings, slides, posters, scrapbooks, and musical scores
