Filippo Tommaso Marinetti was an Italian poet, editor, philosopher, fascist, and theorist. Filippo Tommaso (F.T.) Marinetti was born in Alexandria, Egypt in 1876, and he was educated in Egypt and France. He was the author of "Destruction" (1904) and "La Ville Charnelle" (1908), two volumes of largely ignored poetry, before sparking immediate controversy with his novel "Mafarka il futurista" (1910). The novel, along with the publication of "Manifeste de Futurisme" in Le Figaro (February 20, 1909), marked the origin of futurism, which Marinetti detailed as a rejection of the past for greater attention to beauty in contemporary art and politics. In his famous Manifesto, Marinetti advocated “words in freedom”, a language unbound by common syntax and order that, along with striking variations in typography, could quickly convey intense emotions.
His next collection of verse, "Guerra sola igiene del mondo" (1915) celebrated The Great War as an act of futurism. Marinetti served in the war as a member of the Lombard Volunteer Cyclist regiment in 1915.
