Italian Novecento

Italian Novecento was a prominent artistic and cultural movement in Italy during the early 20th century, especially around the 1920s and 1930s. It aimed to revive Italy's artistic greatness by emphasizing traditional craftsmanship, bold modernity, and national pride. Artists, writers, and musicians involved in Novecento sought a contemporary style rooted in Italy’s classical heritage, often blending realism with modernist ideas. The movement reflected Italy’s search for identity amidst political changes and sought to create a unified, refined cultural expression that balanced innovation with Italy’s historical traditions.
