Marinetti

Filippo Tommaso (1876-1944). Founder of the Futurist movement. On 5 March 1933, Marinetti wrote the The Futurist Manifesto of the Italian Hat, which he signed with Monarchi, Prampolini, and Somenzi. The manifesto was published in the Rome weekly newspaper, Futurismo, and proposed a competition that was to run in conjunction with an exhibition at the Galleria Pesaro in Milan. It featured hats made by different firms, including the aerodynamic hat made in 1934 by Borsalino.
