Catalogue Note
“- Vigliacchi! – gridai, voltandomi verso gli abitanti di Paralisi, ammucchiati sotto di noi, massa enorme di obici irritati, già pronti per i nostri futuri cannoni. - Vigliacchi! Vigliacchi!... Perché queste vostre strida di gatti scorticati vivi?... Temete forse che appicchiamo il fuoco alle vostre catapecchie?... Non ancora!... Dovremo pur scaldarci nell’inverno prossimo!... Per ora, ci accontentiamo di far saltare in aria tutte le tradizioni, come ponti fradici! ” inveisce infatti Filippo Tommaso Marinetti nel 1909 in Uccidiamo il Chiaro di Luna!
“-Cowards!- I shouted looking back toward the citizens of Collapse, accumulated below us, as an enormous bulk of irritated howitzers, ready for our upcoming cannons.-Cowards! Cowards!... Why do you scream like cats skinned alive ?...Do you fear we will set on fire yours shacks?... Not yet!... We will have to warm up in the next winter! For the time being we will be happy enough to blow up all traditions, like soaked up bridges!” screamed Filippo Tommaso Marinetti in Uccidiamo il Chiaro di Luna in 1909
