As a journalist, poet, sports reporter, political and literary writer, Mario Morasso collaborated with some of the most renowned magazines and newspapers of his time, including La Gazzetta di Venezia, L’Illustrazione italiana, Il Campo, Il regno, Vita d’arte, and Il Marzocco. In 1907 he moved to Milan, where he founded the sports magazine Motori, aero, cicli e sport. Considered as one of the precursors of the Futurist movement, he strongly supported the myth of modernity, with an emphasis on the cult of individualism, military aggression, and technology. His works include Uomini e idee del domani (l'egoarchia) (1898), L'imperialismo artistico (1903), La nuova arma (la macchina) (1905), Il nuovo aspetto meccanico del mondo (1907), and La nuova guerra (1914). |

  GenovaGenoa, which forms the southern corner of the Milan-Turin-Genoa industrial triangle of north-west Italy, is one of the country’s major economic centers. The city soon gained a reputation as a hotbed of anti-Savoy republican agitation (having its climax in 1849 with the Sack of Genoa), although the union with Savoy was economically very beneficial. With the growth of the Risorgimento movement, the Genoese turned their struggles from Giuseppe Mazzini's vision of a local republic into a struggle for a unified Italy under a liberalized Savoy monarchy. In 1860, Giuseppe Garibaldi set out from Genoa with over a thousand volunteers to begin the campaign. Today a monument is set on the rock where the group departed from.
