Specialist Notes
Original edition printed on heavy paper in only 350 copies, of which 50 are machine numbered and signed by Ardengo Soffici, this is copy no. 43. Masterpiece artist's book by Soffici "traditionalist" and from the country from the 1920s, it is the ideal counterpart to «BÏf§ZF», the Futurist work from the 1910s. Like that, a first edition was printed in a large format (over 30 cm high) followed by a second in a smaller format. The edition of the first edition is limited to three hundred and fifty copies, of which 1-300 are machine-numbered and 50 are hand-numbered out of print, all signed by the artist on the colophon. Contains the "poem of Laurentian derivation" publicly reviewed by Benito Mussolini. Large printed on fine bearded paper and adorned with two splendid lithographs, particularly enhanced by the large format of the first edition: a landscape and a female nude on the verso.
