About Renzo Provinciali
- Renzo Provinciali (born Parma, Italy 14 March 1895 died Rome, 2 October 1981), a lawyer by profession, was a notable Italian anarchist, Futurist and journalist.
- He is perhaps best known for his opposition to Marinetti’s Futurist Manifesto. In the years before the First World War he was at the heart of a group of anarchists and Futurists in Parma, a centre for revolutionary movements.
- From 1912–1913 he published the anarcho-futurist journal La Barricata (The Barricade) (for which Carlo Carrà designed the masthead)[1].
- His manifesto Futurism and Anarchy, published in The Barricade, attacked Marinetti on the basis that his attempt to produce an avant-garde aesthetic was undermined by his failure to renounce bourgeois politics: ‘How is it possible to imagine a bourgeois art in an anarchist society, or a futurist art in a bourgeois society?’
