A fever‑ish rush of words carries the listener aboard a rattling train hurtling toward Trieste, where a band of radical poets proclaim a victory of speed, noise and rebellion. The opening bursts with vivid, almost cinematic images—electric lanterns flashing, smoky stations, and a chorus of shouted slogans that mock the old order while celebrating a new, explosive energy. It feels like a live performance, with the speaker’s voice racing like a locomotive, blending poetry, manifesto and theatre into a single, pulsating chant.
As the train arrives, the narrative erupts into a chaotic crowd scene in the city’s grand theater, where futurist artists, writers and eager citizens clash with the austere Austrian police. Listeners hear the clamor of an enthusiastic assembly, the clashing of ideas and the fevered joy of a movement determined to tear down tradition. The piece captures a moment of cultural upheaval, inviting the audience to experience the audacious spirit of an avant‑garde celebration that still reverberates with restless, modernist energy.

1885–1974
A playful, inventive voice in modern Italian literature, this poet and novelist moved from early Futurist experiments to warm, sharply observed fiction. Best known for The Sisters Materassi, he brought humor, elegance, and a taste for the unexpected to everything he wrote.
