Description

Benedetta and the Futurist Canon The year 1924 marks Benedetta Cappa Marinetti's full-fledged entrance into Futurism. (1) Just one year after her marriage to F. T. Marinetti, her husband publicly presented her novel, Le forze umane: romanzo astratto con sintesi grafiche, at the Sorbonne in Paris. In that same year, Cappa Marinetti, who penned her name simply as Benedetta, participated in the Futurist congress in Milan and produced her first Futurist painting, Velocita di motoscafo. Although her privileged entry was unique, she was not the first woman to gain access to the movement. Benedetta joined the ranks of other women who had already identified themselves with Futurism, such as Valentine de Saint Point, Enif Robert, Rosa Rosa, and Maria Ginanni, to name just a few. (2) Regardless of this already notable female presence, Benedetta, especially with her novel, Le forze umane, stands apart from them, their work, and the Futurist canon.
