(August 1, 2017) Last days in Lima to visit the exhibition "Futurism and Speed. Speed on Earth and in the Air ", organized by the Italian Institute of Culture in Lima in collaboration with the Italian Art Museum. The exhibition, curated by Maurizio Scudiero, presents fifty works by several futurist artists, who, at the beginning of the twentieth century, became part of the artistic movement that broke with everything that represented the classical literature and art of the past, to give space to the modern aspects of contemporary life: in particular, speed, science and technology were the main sources of inspiration. The works - exhibited at the Italian Art Museum - are also the perfect continuation of the exhibition "Depero Futurista y artista global", which was also realized by the Italian Institute last year.
