—Filippo Tommaso MarinettiA little over a century ago, in 1909, the Italian poet and art theorist Filippo Tommaso Marinetti published The Futurist Manifesto. It became a seminal work, giving life to the homonymous artistic and cultural movement that's been one of the most avant-garde and absurd in history. After starting the movement, stating that "art can be nothing but violence, cruelty, and injustice" and inspiring Mussolini and Italian fascism, Marinetti decided to dedicate himself to applying the Futurist principles to as many disciplines as possible—including gastronomy. That's how he ended up writing The Futurist Cookbook—an actual recipe book.
