Luciano Folgore, Ponti sull'Oceano (Bridges over the Ocean), 1914.
Cover by Antonio Sant'Elia.
Luciano Folgore was among the first artists to share with Marinetti the growth of Futurism. He was also a poet and a writer. In this book, one of the several works he wrote, he gave his contribution to the "words-in-freedom" movement that, at the time, was a distinctive literary trademark of the Futurist poets. This book is also of particular interest because its cover features a typographic composition that evokes the shape of the arch of a bridge designed by the Futurist architect Antonio Sant'Elia, who died in 1916.
