Hardcover, 206 pages. Luigi Russolo e la musica futurista is a key volume dedicated to Luigi Russolo, the visionary Italian artist, composer, and theorist who revolutionized 20th-century music with his concept of “the art of noises.” Curated by Giovanni Lista, the book is part of the Fluid XV series, overseen by Gino Di Maggio, Achille Bonito Oliva, and Daniele Lombardi.

This 189-page Italian-language publication brings together critical essays and original writings by Giovanni Lista and Luigi Russolo, offering a comprehensive exploration of Russolo’s groundbreaking theories, his invention of the intonarumori (noise machines), and his central role in the Futurist movement. The volume traces the historical, aesthetic, and technological impact of Russolo’s work, from his 1913 manifesto L’arte dei rumori to his influence on avant-garde and experimental music throughout the 20th century.

Richly illustrated and featuring Russolo’s painting La Musica (1911) on the cover, Luigi Russolo e la musica futurista is an essential resource for scholars, musicians, and anyone interested in the intersections of sound, technology, and modern art.
