Reliving the past of futurism

The exhibition, running though Sunday at the Tsinghua University Art Museum, brings together more than 250 works of art from 1909 to 1939, the most prosperous period of the movement.

On display are selections from the collection of Fondazione Massimo e Sonia Cirulli, an institution in Bologna, with its goals to promote the knowledge of Italian art and visual culture from the early years of the country's engagement with modernity, that is, from the 1900s, to the economic boom after the World War II up until the '70s.
