Italian Modernism is an artistic and cultural movement that emerged in the early 20th century, characterized by a break from traditional forms and a focus on innovation. It encompassed various disciplines, including architecture, literature, and visual arts, and was influenced by the rapid changes in society, technology, and politics. Key figures included Filippo Tommaso Marinetti, who promoted the Futurist movement, emphasizing speed, technology, and modern life. In architecture, Italian Modernism sought to create functional and aesthetically pleasing designs, often using new materials and techniques. Notable architects like Giuseppe Terragni and Adalberto Libera contributed to this movement, producing iconic buildings that reflected the ideals of modernity. The movement played a significant role in shaping contemporary Italian culture and design.
