The presentation of the book by RACHELE FERRARIO " UMBERTO BOCCIONI Life of a Subversive " LE SCIE - MONDADORI will be open free to the public on October 7, 2023.

"To narrate Umberto Boccioni I have often used his own words or those of those who knew him, so as to restore the deepest sense of the man and the artist."

Rachele Ferrario, art historian and critic, reconstructs in these valuable pages the stormy, and in many ways little-known, history of the great artist who was the leader of Futurism.

From his childhood between Morciano di Romagna and Padua, to his Roman apprenticeship with Balla, his friendship with Sironi and Severini, his bond with Marinetti, his love affair with Margherita Sarfatti, his travels to the Russia of the czars and the Paris of Picasso, his arrest, and his fights in the incandescent Milan of the early 20th century.
