Futurism celebrated modern technology, speed, innovation, and dynamism, rejecting traditional art and classical pasts. Marinetti’s work emphasized energy, violence, and the future’s potential, often embracing aggressive attitudes towards established cultural norms. His ideas influenced visual arts, literature, and politics, promoting a radical break from tradition and inspiring both avant-garde art and nationalist movements. His words and projects aimed to reshape culture to reflect the rapid, modern world.
