Filippo Tommaso Marinetti
Filippo Tommaso Marinetti was an influential Italian poet and the founder of the Futurist movement, which celebrated modernity, technology, and innovation in the early 20th century. Born in 1876, Marinetti's work and ideas had a profound impact on literature, art, and culture, advocating for a break from the past and the embrace of speed, violence, and the dynamic energy of the modern world. His manifesto for Futurism, published in 1909, called for the rejection of traditional aesthetics and the glorification of progress. Marinetti was also known for his controversial views on various subjects, including food, where he famously condemned traditional Italian pasta as a symbol of a decadent past, promoting rice as a modern alternative. His radical ideas contributed to the cultural landscape of Italy during a time of great political and social change.
