Works by the major exponents of Futurism on display at the Palazzo delle Paure, from Balla to Depero

From March 18 to June 18, 2023, Lecco ’s Palazzo delle Paure hosts the exhibition Futuristi. A Generation in the Avant-Garde, curated by Simona Bartolena, produced and produced by ViDi - Visit Different, in collaboration with the City of Lecco and the Lecco Urban Museum System.

The exhibition aims to investigate the presence of avant-garde languages in Italy in the first decades of the 20th century. The works of the most celebrated exponents of Futurism, in its various expressions, will be on display: from Giacomo Balla to Luigi Russolo, from Gino Severini to Enrico Prampolini, from Filippo Tommaso Marinetti to Antonio Sant’Elia, from Fortunato Depero to Tullio Crali, and many others.

The exhibition aims to investigate Futurism in its different generations and declinations and its relations with the European scene and Italian society of the time, comparing it with other avant-garde artistic trends and expressions of the first three decades of the century. Not only works on canvas and not only big names in an overview of the known and lesser-known outcomes of the Futurist movement: from Balla’s dynamisms to Crali’s air raids, from Russolo’s Intonarumori to Depero’s Campari bottle.
