Original fully illustrated and free-word edition, printed on paper of different colors.  Book composed as if it were a variety show , with an introductory set of fake advertising posters, a program divided into the first and second parts for a total of 16 moments, designed through an unscrupulous paroliberalism, in which the letters are distorted to outline figures and profiles. See Salaris, History, p. 106; Hulten, Futurism & futurism, p. 439; Cammarota, Futurismo, 76.14. Francesco Cangiullo (Naples, 1884 - Livorno, 1977) joined the futurist movement, of of which he became one of the major exponents, in 1905, on the occasion of an "evening" at the Mercadante organized for the arrival of Marinetti, Palazzeschi, Altomare, Mazza and the painters Boccioni, Carrà and Russolo. Creator of free-word experiments, visual and sound dynamics (from humanised letters to the unexpected alphabet), he published his first futurist work "Le Cocottesche" in 1912, followed by Caffè Concerto (1919), Poesia Pentagrammata (1923) and the collaboration with the futurist magazine "Lacerba" (1913 - 1915). Cangiullo signed with Marinetti the "Manifesto of the theater of surprise" (magazine "Il futurismo" January 1922) whose project he attempted to realize and disseminate during the tour with the theater company of R. De Angelis. These experiences were then recalled in the volume "Novelle del Variety" (1938). The gradual return to a more traditional poetry and the slow detachment from futurism were narrated in two of his last works "Futurist evenings" (1930) and "Poetry in love" (1943), a synthesis of his poetic production after 1919.
