    Futurism, the movement
    In the early 1900s, a group of young and rebellious Italian writers
    and artists emerged determined to celebrate industrialization. They
    were frustrated by Italy’s declining status and believed that the
    “Machine Age” would result in an entirely new world order and even a
    renewed consciousness. Filippo Tommaso Marinetti, the ringleader of
    this group, called the movement Futurism. Its members sought to
    capture the idea of modernity, the sensations and aesthetics of
    speed, movement, and industrial development
