Sky Arte compares Marinetti and Nuvolari in new episode of Gli Immortali
Sky Arte HD will air a new episode of the series Gli Immortali ‒ Artisti per sempre on Friday, March 9, hosted by Giorgio Porrà. The episode contrasts the lives of Filippo Tommaso Marinetti, founder of Futurism, and racing driver Tazio Nuvolari, using the myth of speed as a common thread. Both figures embodied the frenetic pace of an era driven by industry and early automobiles. Marinetti laid the foundations of Futurism, while Nuvolari conquered space like no one before. Their remains are preserved respectively at the Cimitero Monumentale di Milano and the Cimitero degli Angeli di Mantova.
