Description
Introduction It has long been recognized that F.T. Marinetti's political ideas were heavily indebted to Anarchism and that the Futurist concept of guerra sola igiene del mondo (War, the Sole Cleanser of the World) had its roots in a political culture that had shaped the genesis of Futurism in the years 1898 to 1909 (see my studies, The Genesis of Futurism and Futurism and Politics). One of the key texts to illuminate Marinetti's concept of war was his lecture "The Necessity and Beauty of Violence," held in Naples and Milan in 1910 and repeated in Parma in 1911. Although the speech was reported on in several newspapers and parts of it printed in the Anarcho-syndicalist press, I have always considered it a great loss that this major political document did not survive in its entirety and that the speech could only be vaguely reconstructed on the basis of later and significantly altered versions.
