Arnaldo Ginna, also known as Arnaldo Ginanni Corradini, was an Italian painter, sculptor and filmmaker. He was born in Ravenna, 7 May 1890; he died in Rome, 26 September 1982.
The son of Count Tullio Ginanni Corradini (who was also mayor of Ravenna) and brother of Bruno Corra (Ginna and Corra names were suggested by Giacomo Balla by assonance with the words gym and run), studied at the Academy of Fine Arts in Ravenna, and graduated in Florence.
He focused on the occult sciences, theosophy and Eastern philosophies. In 1910 he published a book with his brother entitled Method and New Life. He theorized about a future non-figurative painting with chromatic music, i.e. translation of feelings and moods in sound and color.
An important moment in his artistic research was the early meeting with the Futurist group. This occurred in Milan, in the house of Tommaso Marinetti. This Futurist group included Boccioni, Carrà and Russolo. Unlike that group, which was interested in the dynamic aspect of painting, he developed a propensity to a painting of pure color, with strong spiritualistic inflections. Between 1910 and 1912 he worked with Corra on some short abstract films, using the color directly on the untreated film. These cinepitture, consisting of overlapping colorful dots, were a commentary on the musical works of Mendelssohn symphonies and abstract compositions to avant-garde.
He participated in the Exhibition of Painting and Sculpture in 1912 at the company's Belle Arti in Florence, showing the works Neurasthenia (1908) and Romantic walk (1909). In April 1914, he participated in the Free Futurist International Exhibition, held at the Galleria Sprovieri in Rome. In 1915 he published the text painting of the future and with Corra, the synthesis theatrical Alternation of character in the Futurist Synthetic Theatre of Marinetti, Corra and Settimelli. Up residence in Florence, in addition to true artistic, tried her hand in both theoretical writing treatises on the costume and the occult, political texts and narrative. In 1916 he produced and directed the film Futurist Life, in collaboration with Corra, Balla and Marinetti. However, there now exist only a few frames of this film.
In 1919 he published the presurrealista The locomotives with stockings, with a preface by Corra and designs proprietary and pink rose. In the same year he participated in the Great National Exhibition of Futurist Milan, Genoa and Florence. From 1918 to 1920 he collaborated with the magazine Futurist Rome. In the 1920s and 1930s he collaborated with Empire and with Today and Tomorrow. In 1927 he directed the magazine of natural medicine The New. Later he collaborated with the magazine Futurism of Somenzi, which was published in his book pointing Man future. In 1937 he published The idea presentista. In 1938 he signed the manifesto with Marinetti Cinematography.
When the futurist period ended, he continued to paint in his abstract genre-occultist, continuing to devote himself to painting until the 1960s. He also collaborated in numerous publications as an art critic and film.
Futurism was an artistic and social movement that originated in Italy, and to a lesser extent in other countries, in the early 20th century. It emphasized dynamism, speed, technology, youth, violence, and objects such as the car, the airplane, and the industrial city. Its key figures included the Italians Filippo Tommaso Marinetti, Umberto Boccioni, Carlo Carrà, Fortunato Depero, Gino Severini, Giacomo Balla, and Luigi Russolo. Italian Futurism glorified modernity and according to its doctrine, aimed to liberate Italy from the weight of its past. Important Futurist works included Marinetti's 1909 Manifesto of Futurism, Boccioni's 1913 sculpture Unique Forms of Continuity in Space, Balla's 1913–1914 painting Abstract Speed + Sound, and Russolo's The Art of Noises (1913).
Umberto Boccioni was an influential Italian painter and sculptor. He helped shape the revolutionary aesthetic of the Futurism movement as one of its principal figures. Despite his short life, his approach to the dynamism of form and the deconstruction of solid mass guided artists long after his death. His works are held by many public art museums, and in 1988 the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City organized a major retrospective of 100 pieces.
Giacomo Balla was an Italian painter, art teacher and poet best known as a key proponent of Futurism. In his paintings, he depicted light, movement and speed. He was concerned with expressing movement in his works, but unlike other leading futurists he was not interested in machines or violence with his works tending towards the witty and whimsical.
Rayonism was a style of abstract art that developed in Russia in 1910–1914. Founded and named by Russian Cubo-Futurists Mikhail Larionov and Natalia Goncharova, it was one of Russia's first abstract art movements.
Gino Severini was an Italian painter and a leading member of the Futurist movement. For much of his life he divided his time between Paris and Rome. He was associated with neo-classicism and the "return to order" in the decade after the First World War. During his career he worked in a variety of media, including mosaic and fresco. He showed his work at major exhibitions, including the Rome Quadrennial, and won art prizes from major institutions.
Italian futurist cinema was the oldest movement of European avant-garde cinema. Italian futurism, an artistic and social movement, impacted the Italian film industry from 1916 to 1919. It influenced Russian Futurist cinema and German Expressionist cinema. Its cultural importance was considerable and influenced all subsequent avant-gardes, as well as some authors of narrative cinema; its echo expands to the dreamlike visions of some films by Alfred Hitchcock.
Fortunato Depero was an Italian futurist painter, writer, sculptor, and graphic designer.
Gerardo Dottori was an Italian Futurist painter. He signed the Futurist Manifesto of Aeropainting in 1929. He was associated with the city of Perugia most of his life, living in Milan for six months as a student and in Rome from 1926-39. Dottori's' principal output was the representation of landscapes and visions of Umbria, mostly viewed from a great height. Among the most famous of these are Umbrian Spring and Fire in the City, both from the early 1920s; this last one is now housed in the Museo civico di Palazzo della Penna in Perugia, with many of Dottori's other works. His work was part of the art competitions at the 1932 Summer Olympics and the 1936 Summer Olympics.
Tullio Crali was a Dalmatian Italian artist associated with Futurism. A self-taught painter, he was a late adherent to the movement, not joining until 1929. He is noted for realistic paintings that combine "speed, aerial mechanisation and the mechanics of aerial warfare", though in a long career he painted in other styles as well.

Benedetta Cappa was an Italian futurist artist who has had retrospectives at the Walker Art Center and the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum. Her work fits within the second phase of Italian Futurism.
Girl Running on a Balcony is a 1912 painting by Giacomo Balla, one of the forerunners of the Italian movement called Futurism. The piece indicates the artist's growing interests in creative nuances which would later formally be realized as part of the Futurist movement. The artist was heavily influenced by northern Italians' use of Divisionism and the French's better-known pointillism. Created with oil on canvas just on the brink of World War I, the Futurist movement is embodied by a dark optimism for a future of speed, turbulence, chaos, and new beginnings. Most of Giacaomo Balla's pieces allude to the wonder of dynamic movement, and this painting is no exception. The oil painting is now in the Museo del Novecento, in Milan.
The Futurist Painting: Technical Manifesto (1910) by Umberto Boccioni (1882-1916) was the first exposition of the theoretical underpinnings of Italian Futurist painting.

The painting was inspired by streetlights at the Piazza Termini in Rome.
Růžena Zátková, also called Rougina Zatkova, was a painter and sculptor who has been regarded as the "only authentic Czech futurist." As a result of her Bohemian heritage and her decade-long residency in Rome, Růžena Zátková became an important artistic link between Russian and Italian Futurism. Zátková is considered one of the pioneers of kinetic art.
