| | Filippo Marinetti |
 | | In 1913 a Futurist political manifesto was issued which called for enlargement of the military, an "aggressive foreign policy", colonial expansionism and "pan-Italianism", a 'cult' of progress, speed and heroism, opposition to the nostalgia for monuments, ruins and museums, economic protectionism, anti-socialism, anti-clericalism. |
 | | During the 1930s, in particular the Fascist cultural expression was undergoing a drift away from tradition and towards futurism, with the fascist emphasis on technology and modernisation. |
 | | The Manifesto of Verona was drafted, restoring various liberties, and championing labour against plutocracy within the vision of a united Europe. |
