«A Power Station of Commanding Spirituality»:
Marinetti, Ciliberti, Sartoris and Abstractism in Como
ELENA DI RADDO
The encounter between Filippo Tommaso Marinetti and the local abstract
painters on the banks of Lake Como constitutes an interesting episode in
the history of Italian art, as it witnesses the heritage of the Futurist
movement and the birth of a new tendency which, in the specific case of
Como, was closely linked to architectural rationalism.
The leader of Futurism hoped to find new life for his artistic movement
in the innovative environment of the cultural milieu of Manlio Rho,
Mario Radice, Carla Badiali and architects Giuseppe Terragni and Cesare
Cattaneo, joined in the Thirties by a couple of noteworthy intellectuals,
architect Alberto Sartoris and philosopher Franco Ciliberti. The essay
analyzes the development of this relationship, showing that the abstract
painters approached Marinetti not only in order to gain the favour of
such an influential personality, but also as a reciprocal cultural
enrichment. Moving from Marinetti’s initial presence in Como with the
artists of “Second Futurism”, the essay describes his passionate
participation to the city’s life, in defence of Antonio Sant’Elia’s
architecture, and the strengthening of such bond in some relevant
episodes, such as the formation – thanks to Ciliberti – of the Gruppo
Futuristi Sant’Elia in 1941, which brought to the presence of the Como
abstract painters at the Venice Biennale and the Rome Quadriennale in
the rooms of Futurism, organized by Marinetti.
