First edition. 92pp. Bound in publisher's oblong stapled wraps. Text in Italian, French, and English. Very Good+, toned with age, lightly edge worn with a few small tears along bottom edge of rear wrap. Nice shape overall. Rare. An entire quadruple-size issue of the periodical Poesia dedicated to the nascent modernist cross-disciplinary movement Futurism, edited by its best-known exponent, F.T. Marinetti. It leads off with the first English-language edition of the seminal "Manifesto of Futurism" by Marinetti, and includes lots of Futurist poetry. A cornerstone of the early 20th century avant garde movement, most prominent in Italy and Russia.
