The work of Umberto Boccioni, artist and avant-garde man, painter and sculptor who marked the art and culture of the twentieth century, can still hold surprises if studied with passion by looking towards his formative years, the lesser-known years , the years in which the artist laid the foundations for full participation in the Futurist movement. This volume offers the most in-depth research and the most complete collection ever published of Boccioni's works from the early 1900s to 1910, from the first studies between Rome, Venice and Milan to the works immediately preceding the signing of the Futurist Manifesto. The study of the sources, starting from the diaries, from Boccioni's correspondence up to 1910, and the recent research carried out by the curators Virginia Baradel, Niccolò D'Agati, Francesco Parisi and Stefano Roffi make the book a fundamental tool for deepening and knowing the artist and his works.
