Marinetti (Filippo Tommaso) correspondence and papers

Letters and submissions to Marinetti and others, Series I. 1900-1974

Physical Description: 4 Linear Feet6 boxes

Scope and Contents note

This series contains letters received by Marinetti and, after his death, by Benedetta Marinetti and Luigi Scrivo. Many letters, directed to Marinetti as the editor of Poesia, enclose submissions, and often refer to the debates internal to futurist publications of the World War I era. Later correspondence is concerned with procuring funds or exhibition opportunities from the centralized cultural bureaucracy of the Fascist government. After the war and Marinetti's death, materials reflect the futurists' determination to preserve their artistic legacy through retrospective exhibitions, publications, and the establishment of a futurist museum.

Letters from Marinetti, Series III. ca. 1905-1944

Scope and Contents note

Letters on Poesia stationary, then on Futurist stationary designed by Depero, but otherwise generally undated and addressed to unidentified correspondents, with salutations such as "Mon ami" or "Caro amico." Letters Marinetti sent as the editor of Poesia contain examples of the queries he sent out to the literary world about the innovations of futurism. Letters from the 1920s sometimes offer a critique of an author's work; many letters from the 1930s recommend specific futurist artists for government honors or assistance.
