Scope and Content of Collection
Marinetti correspondence and papers was assembled from various small collections acquired between 1984 and 1989, originally
drawn from the Marinetti family archive and the papers of Luigi Scrivo, Marinetti's personal secretary from around 1930.
The largest portion of the collection consists of correspondence and submissions directed to Marinetti (Series I and II),
first as editor of
Poesia and later as the leader of the futurist movement and the publisher of the book press Edizioni futuriste di "Poesia". These
letters, together with those from Marinetti (Series III) to an often unnamed correspondent ("Mon ami"), demonstrate how Marinetti
stimulated debate about his movement in part by sending queries to a broad range of international literary figures regarding
free verse or the futurist manifestos. He also critiques the writing submitted to him according to futurist criteria, warmly
praising pieces that meet his idiosyncratic standards. His correspondents, in turn, praise or critique Marinetti's writing;
of particular interest are conflicted responses to the first futurist manifesto in 1909. Letters from fellow futurists, such
as Carlo Carrà, Umberto Boccioni, Francesco Cangiullo, and Fortunato Depero reveal wranglings internal to the movement, as
well as the zeal with which they pursued their shared aims. After the First World War, letters are concerned with politics,
and during the fascist years, many regard requests for government funding for individual futurist artists. Finally, following
Marinetti's death, letters directed to Benedetta or Scrivo pertain to preservation of the futurist legacy, despite the stain
of fascism, through retrospective exhibitions, anthologies, and conferences.
Writings by Marinetti (Series IV) include a few manuscripts from futurism's first phase, such as a handwritten theatrical
synthesis "Donna + Amici = Frente" and three handwritten parole, but most of the writings date from after 1930. These include
many prefaces to the books of fellow futurists, lectures and essays on aeropainting, and clippings from
Autori e Scrittori. Circulars from Agenzia Letteraria Artistica (Series VII) contain manifestos and declarations in a newsletter format. Biographies
(Series V), either drawn from newspaper articles, reference books, or manuscripts, present official and personal accounts
of Marinetti's life; photographs (Series VI) offer a complementary visual summary. Letters to Alberto Cappa (Series VIII),
Benedetta's brother, consist largely of letters from Benedetta about her mother or brother's health, with some details about
her travels with Marinetti.
Arrangement note
The papers are arranged in eight series: Series I. Letters and submissions to Marinetti and others, 1900-1974; Series II.

Letteraria Artistica (A.L.A.): Circulars, 1934-1939; Series VIII. Letters to Alberto Cappa, 1923-1931.
Biographical/Historical Note
Filippo Tommaso Marinetti, born in Alexandria in 1876, attended secondary school and university in France, where he began
his literary career. After gaining some success as a poet, he founded and edited the journal
Poesia (1905), a forum in which the theories of futurism rather quickly evolved. With "Fondazione e Manifesto del Futurismo," published
in
Le Figaro (1909), Marinetti launched what was arguably the first 20th century avant-garde movement, anticipating many of the issues
of Dada and Surrealism. Like other avant-garde movements, futurism took the momentous developments in science and industry
as signaling a new historical era, demanding correspondingly innovative art forms and language. Like other avant-garde movements,
futurism found a solution in collage, which Marinetti called "parole in libertà" when applied to literary forms. Between 1909
and 1920, the period known as futurism's heroic phase, Marinetti energetically promoted his own work, and that of fellow futurists,
through numerous manifestos, speeches, essays, meetings, performances and publications. Following WWI, in which he served,
Marinetti became an active member of the fascist party; on April 15, 1919, he and Ferruccio Vecchi led the "battle" of piazza
Mercanti against socialists, communists, and anarchists, which was Italian fascism's first decisive victory. In 1929 he was
elected to the Academy of Italy. Throughout the 1920s and 30s and until his death in 1944, Marinetti sought to reconcile the
theories of futurism with the ideology of state fascism and to serve as impresario for both.

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 on
Poesia stationary, then on Futurist stationary designed by Depero, but otherwise generally undated and addressed to unidentified

sometimes offer a critique of an author's work; many letters from the 1930s recommend specific futurist artists for government
honors or assistance.
