"of the Futurist movement of the years 1910–1920. The futurist architecture created since 1960 may be termed ""Neo-Futurism"", and is also referred as Post Modern Futurism or Neo-Futuristic architecture. Futurist architecture Futurist architecture is an early-20th century form of architecture born in Italy, characterized by strong chromaticism, long dynamic lines, suggesting speed, motion, urgency and lyricism: it was a part of Futurism, an artistic movement founded by the poet Filippo Tommaso Marinetti, who produced its first manifesto, the Manifesto of Futurism, in 1909. The movement attracted not only poets, musicians, and artists (such as Umberto Boccioni, Giacomo Balla, Fortunato Depero,"
"traditional values and the destruction of cultural institutions such as museums and libraries. The manifesto's rhetoric was passionately bombastic; its aggressive tone was purposely intended to inspire public anger and arouse controversy. Marinetti's manifesto inspired a group of young painters in Milan to apply Futurist ideas to the visual arts. Umberto Boccioni, Carlo Carrà, Luigi Russolo, Giacomo Balla, and Gino Severini published several manifestos on painting in 1910. Like Marinetti, they glorified originality and expressed their disdain for inherited artistic traditions. Boccioni also became interested in sculpture, publishing a manifesto on the subject in the spring of 1912. He is"

Marinetti, often credited as the founder of futurism as an artistic and literary movement, produced the manifesto in 1909, which would later serve as the foundation for Boccioni’s very own ""Technical Manifesto of Futurist Sculpture"". Marinetti in his manifesto expresses a passionate loathing of everything old, especially classical and neo-classical artistic traditions. To break with traditional notions, futurists admired and emphasized elements of modern society: speed, technology, youth and violence, the car, the airplane, the industrial city, all that represented the technological triumph of humanity over nature. Boccioni, in his manifesto pertaining to sculptural works, emphasized many of the"
"Scapigliatura Scapigliatura () is the name of an artistic movement that developed in Italy after the Risorgimento period (1815–1871). The movement included poets, writers, musicians, painters and sculptors. The term Scapigliatura is the Italian equivalent of the French ""bohème"" (bohemian), literally meaning ""unkempt"" or ""dishevelled"". The term Scapigliatura was derived from the novel ""La Scapigliatura e il 6 Febbraio"" by Cletto Arrighi, pen-name of Carlo Righetti (1830–1906), who was one of the forerunners of the movement.

Bruschetti was born in 1910 in Perugia which is where he studied art. He was influenced by a meeting with the futurist artist Gerardo Dottori. He is considered the second most important Futurist painter from Umbria after Dottori. In 1931 he moved to Rome to train as a teacher.

In the 20th century, many Italians played leading roles in the development of modern art. Futurist sculptors tried to show how space, movement, and time affected form. These artists portrayed objects in motion, rather than their appearance at any particular moment. An example is Umberto Boccioni's ""Unique Forms of Continuity in Space.""

"Macchiaioli The Macchiaioli () were a group of Italian painters active in Tuscany in the second half of the nineteenth century, who, breaking with the antiquated conventions taught by the Italian academies of art, did much of their painting outdoors in order to capture natural light, shade, and colour. This practice relates the Macchiaioli to the French Impressionists who came to prominence a few years later, although the Macchiaioli pursued somewhat different purposes. The most notable artists of this movement were Giuseppe Abbati, Cristiano Banti, Odoardo Borrani, Vincenzo Cabianca, Adriano Cecioni, Vito D'Ancona, Serafino De Tivoli, Giovanni Fattori, Raffaello Sernesi,"

The most famous Venetian masters included Giorgione, Titian, and Tintoretto. Italian painters dominated the Baroque period. Annibale Caracci and Caravaggio were the most important early Baroque painters. Caracci is also credited with the invention of caricature, a visual version of parody.

Apart from Boccioni, it was signed by Carlo Carrà, Luigi Russolo, Giacomo Balla and Gino Severini, although they did not necessarily all contribute to the text.

Boccioni's background was in painting, as his Futurist colleagues, but unlike others was impelled to adapt the subjects and atmospheric faceting of Futurism to sculpture. For Boccioni, physical motion is relative, in opposition with absolute motion. The Futurist had no intention of abstracting reality. ""We are not against nature,"" wrote Boccioni, ""as believed by the innocent late bloomers [retardataires] of realism and naturalism, but against art, that is, against immobility.""

Today, further enlarged and spread over 30 rooms, this large collection includes works by artists of the Macchiaioli movement and other modern Italian schools of the late 19th and early 20th centuries. The pictures by the Macchiaioli artists are of particular note, as this school of 19th-century Tuscan painters led by Giovanni Fattori were early pioneers and the founders of the impressionist movement.

The experience of the war marked several Futurists, particularly Marinetti, who fought in the mountains of Trentino at the border of Italy and Austria-Hungary, actively engaging in propaganda.

Other artists reacted as a response to the tendency toward abstraction, allowing figurative imagery to continue through various new contexts like the Bay Area Figurative Movement in the 1950s and new forms of expressionism from the 1940s through the 1960s. In Italy during this time, Giorgio Morandi was the foremost still life painter, exploring a wide variety of approaches to depicting everyday bottles and kitchen implements. Throughout the 20th century many painters practiced Realism and used expressive imagery; practicing landscape and figurative painting with contemporary subjects and solid technique, and unique expressivity like still-life painter Giorgio Morandi, Milton Avery,"
