A Livorno no celebration of Futurism
A month after the centenary of the first Futurist manifesto, published February 20, 1909 by Filippo Tommaso Marinetti on the Paris daily Le Figaro, there is no news of any shows or actions taken as a cultural celebration of that important event. It seems that
Livorno, rich in architectural and artists who gave a sign that challenge without trial and exaltation of ego creative desire to forget and even delete an artistic movement also crucial for our current 'passions' technology. Paris, London, Rome, Rovereto, Milan are planning a major series of exhibitions and opportunities for interaction and discussion. Livorno home last futurist Osvaldo Peruzzi, Francesco Cangiullo the host city of the holder of architectural and other works of merit - for example on Romulus the Romans - and the scene of countless 'Futurist evenings', threatens to undermine a claim who had received at least since 1989. Then it was clear the success of the exhibition dedicated to Futurism in the exhibition spaces of Villa Mimbelli. As is known, the policy of 'inevitable necessity' has led to almost completely break down the Odeon cinema (for a few hundred parking spaces), also welcomed by futurist and has not even suggested a timetable of events related to the centennial. The Circle of Freedom 'Livorno Free People 'calls for public institutions and private premises to remedy this shortcoming and to take this opportunity to stimulate discussion and planned policies towards sustainable development of modern and contemporary art, currently non-existent in the town of Livorno.
It is no coincidence that the habit of unilateral decisions and let down from the top of the policy has so far prevented through public competition to name an art director for exhibitions and displays of the communal area.
