By Giovanni Lista<\/p>

The book rises from a deep research about the origins of the Stella d’Italia (Star of Italy), the most ancient symbol of the Italian land, that Marinetti evoked when he found the Futurist movement. Familiarly named “lo stellone” (the big star), the Stella d’Italia has been painted by Balla, Depero, Rosai, Sironi, Conti, Monachesi, Soffici and many other futurists. But it appears also in XIX century paintings, during Risorgimento’s conflicts for the Italian Unification, attesting a myth that goes back to an ancient political and geographical tradition when Italy identifies itself as the “land of sunset”.<\/p>

Il libro nasce da una ricerca approfondita sulle origini della Stella d’Italia, il simbolo più antico della terra italiana, che Marinetti ha evocato fondando il movimento futurista. Chiamata familiarmente “lo stellone”, la Stella d’Italia è stata dipinta da Balla, Depero,Rosai, Sironi, Conti, Monachesi, Soffici e molti altri futuristi.Ma appare anche nella pittura dell’Ottocento, durante le lotte del Risorgimento per l’Unità italiana, testimoniando di un mito che risale ad un’antica tradizione politica e geografica in cui l’Italia s’identifica come “terra del tramonto”.<\/p>
