Futurism is an art movement of the early 20th century. It was founded in 1909 in Italy, by Filippo Tommaso Marinetti, who was an Italian poet and editor. Futurism celebrated the advanced technology of the time and how major cities were becoming more modern. The futurism movement was important as it influenced most of Europe, and the most significant results were in the visual arts and poetry. Futurism was influenced by elements of Neo-Impressionism and Cubism. A group of Italian writers and artists

always found a rich soil in it, Italy gives space to every kind of arts or science: Galileo Galilei, Dante Alighieri, Cristoforo Colombo, Michelangelo Buonarroti, Leonardo Da Vinci, Filippo Brunelleschi and many others. Firenze has always been the city of the artists, many of the most famous genius came from Firenze, Filippo Brunelleschi is one of them. Brunelleschi was a metalworker but the world knows him as one of the greatest architect, he was the one who designed the dome of the Cathedral Santa

-Filippo Brunelleschi was the architect, and engineer who also developed linear perspective in art -He also made contributions in sculpture, mathematics, and ship design A classic Mediterranean dome was chosen over the traditional Medieval Gothic in 1367 since Italian architects thought of Gothic buttresses as unattractive for such a building.

FUTURISM Futurism (lat. Futurus = future) was a movement in literature, visual art, fashion, architecture, theatre, music and film in the early 20th century, launched by Italian poet Filippo Tommaso Marinetti. Futurism appeared as a fervent denouncer of the past. Italian art represented the past Ancient, Renaissance and Baroque art and culture. In the early 1900s, Italian artists and writers believed that the “Machine Age” could have changed the situation and develop into a new awareness. F. Marinetti

The potentials of the new technology created in the early twentieth century created a variety of reactions with in society. Some people embraced the changes, others resisted the developments, and still others fell somewhere in between. Filippo Tommaso Marinetti’s piece, “The Futurist Manifesto”, embraces the rapid transformation of society. His world is composed of fast, powerful machines and strong, young citizens. The Manifesto also depicts an aggressive, violent, and unjust world that is devoid

effort to make their own art. Surely, they challenged one another which pushed their art to new heights. I don’t think cubism would be what it is today without both artists, as they were at the forefront of creating new art during that period. 2.

After the war, Antonio went back to the theater. He started a band with Eduardo and Peppino De Filippo and Cesare Bixio.

Futurism Began The new movement in modern art, Futurism was first announced on Feb. 20, 1909, when the Paris newspaper Le Figaro published a manifesto by the Italian poet Filippo Tommaso Marinetti. The name Futurism reflected his emphasis on discarding what he conceived to be the static and irrelevant art of the past and celebrating change, originality, and innovation in culture and society.

The Renaissance was a very memorable period for the European civilization. This period dates back to the early 1300’s and lasted for hundreds of years. During this period, many things were invented and innovated, so many often define the term as a period of “rebirth”. In all actuality, The Renaissance is a period of rebirth, but many leave out the significance of the two principals that shapes its meaning. The two principles that shaped the styles created during this period includes the classical

Art History: Renaissance Filippo Brunelleschi was one of the greatest sculptors and architects of the Renaissance. His architectural achievements consist of some of the most well known and impressive structures not only of the Renaissance, but today. Not only were his structures amazing, but during his time he also invented new technology that would allow for his structures to be built. What would happen if Brunelleschi never designed architecture? We would have lost his inventions, his structures
