Early Life and Training

, a pivotal Italian painter and sculptor, was born on October 19, 1882, in Reggio Calabria, Italy. His father's government job led to frequent relocations throughout Italy, influencing Boccioni's early life. At 15, he settled in Catania, Sicily, where he completed his schooling. He later moved to Rome to study art at the Accademia di Belle Arti di Roma's Scuola Libera del Nudo and under Giovanni Mataloni, a Liberty style poster artist.

The Futurism Movement

Boccioni's innovative approach to form and mass deconstruction significantly impacted the art world. He became the main theorist of the Futurism movement, signing the Manifesto dei pittori futuristi ("Manifesto of Futurist painters") in 1910. His works are held by many public art museums, including a major retrospective at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City in 1988.
