Futurism was an artistic and social movement that originated in Italy
in the early 20th century. It emphasized and glorified themes
associated with contemporary concepts of the future, including speed,
technology, youth and violence, and objects such as the car, the
airplane and the industrial city. It was largely an Italian phenomenon, though there were parallel movements in Russia, England and elsewhere.
