Biography
Luciano Folgore wrote poems using pen names from a young age. Particularly appreciated by Filippo Marinetti he adhered to Futurism and some of his poems were published in the Anthology I poeti futuristi (1912). He collaborated with the historical magazines Lacerba and La voce. He also contributed to satirical magazine Il Travoso in the 1930s. In his futuristic collection of poetry Il canto dei motori (1912) he used a traditional, decadent language to describe the modern world of machines.
