Abstract
Tullio d’Albisola has been recognized as one of the most important members of the so-called second generation of Futurism, due to of his engage- ment in the movement after 1925 both as a ceramic designer and sculptor, as a poet and an art critic. Taking the political origins of his artistic pseudonym as a starting point, this essay addresses the complicated relationship between the Fascist régime and the artist, originally born as Spartaco Mazzotti, and later bap- tized Tullio d’Albisola. Based on unpublished documents in Marinetti’s and Tullio’s personal archives, preserved in the Beinecke Rare Books and Manuscripts Library, Yale University, and the Casa Mazzotti in Albissola Marina, my investiga- tions produced new insights into the collaboration between the founder of Futurism and the leader of the Futurist branch in Albisola.
