Benedetta (Benedetta Cappa Marinetti, 14 August 1897-15 May 1977) was an Italian futurist writer, poet, choreographer and painter. She married Filippo Tommaso Marinetti in 1923. Her style was gentler and less one-sided than the male Futurists. She added metaphysical metaphysical ideas to Futurism. My knowledge of Italian is tiny. I get the impression that Le forze umane / The Human Force is an attempt to describe the emotional chemistry between between people as if it were a scientific scientifically ally measurable force. Each section of text is illustrated by a graphic synthesis. I hope that stringing these graphic syntheses together without the accompanying text will still communicatee something of her ideas about stages of emotional metamorphosis. communicat romance with graphic synth syntheses eses brings to The subtitle Romanzo astratto con sintesi grafiche / Abstract romance mind the more recent phenomena of abstract comics and bandes dessinées abstraites.
