Marinetti and his Futurism Movement rejected the traditional values and the norms as prototypes for the present.

In Political Manifesto for Futurist Voters, Marinetti’s second manifest, urges voters to take a fiercely anticlerical, antisocialist and an anti-traditionalist position, while advocating Italian patriotism and military expansion. This manifest would coincide with the 1909 Parliamentary Elections campaign.

On March 8th, 1910, Marinetti, along with Milanese artist Umberto Boccioni Carlo Carrå, and Luigi Russolo, was on stage at the Politeama Chiarella in Turin to officially announce the birth of the Futurism Movement. The movement protested the cult of the past and its aesthetic laws in favor for the celebration of modern life and triumphs of science.

It’s October 1913, and the publication of Marinetti’s Futurist Political Program rejected the governments “monumentomania” and their interference of art related matters. It calls for progress, velocity, courage, love of danger and heroism to promote the cultural ideal of a Futurist state of mind. The Futurist Political Program signees included Boccioni, Carlo, Russolo and Marinetti to show their support of irredentism, primacy of Italy, anticlericalism, and antisocialism, along with the support of free trade.

Now it’s 1918, and Marinetti’s newly founded Futurist Political Party he campaigns for election to the parliament with little success. Although, Marinetti’s political ambitious were thwarted, Futurism did succeed. Futurism played an important role in diffusing Nationalist and Pro-War sentiments. Futurism also had much contribution to Italy’s entry into World War I on the Allies side and then eventually the advent of Fascism.

Now, after 105 years since the announcement of futurism by Marinetti, we still embrace and remember the ideals of the Futurism Movement. By interweaving some of the values of the movement throughout self-inspiration and exploration. Everyday someone or something is trying to push the envelope on a new idea or philosophy. With todays’ age of media and the amount of idealologies be promoted most great ideas are surpassed and slip through the cracks that may not of 100 years ago. We must remember to learn and evovle from the past or we are bound to repeat it.
