Great insights are strategic, telluric, they cut epochs in two, scanning, splitting, a before and after, establishing a new, unprecedented way of seeing, feeling, acting, touching, smelling; breaking substantial traditions and thus opening immense breaches in common sense, in creative language, as well as in psychology, sociology, and anthropology itself, given that what is thought and action becomes a true habitat, in terms of perimeter, area, horizons, and a high conception of the world. The insights of Marinetti and Futurism have been, are, all of this and perhaps more, continuing in our accelerated time, in the contracted space that increasingly characterises us, endemically, seminally, formally, in continuous neomorphosis, and not just those of Marinetti, but of the entire universe around him, Sant'Elia, Boccioni, Balla, Severini, Carrà, and then many others, from Depero to Evola, to Dottori, to Balilla Pradella, in an endless list of Italians and foreigners, different from Cubism (monothematic) and Dadaism.

Thus, the opening of Casa Balla, on Via Oslavia, in Rome, is a major event, to be marked in the annals of great events, thanks to the MAXXI museum, because it finally allows us to enter physically and with full awareness into the imaginary and the realised authorial sphere of an ideography of total artistic project, which always stands out, with no days of celebration to embellish and no days of sadness to highlight, with a fully rounded baroque quality that leaves nothing to be stored away or in the attic, making spectacle an existential factor, a spectacle of life, of all of life.
Balla interprets the idea of a futuristic construction that never turns into academia, into passéist conformism, cancelling itself out, through dissolution, in repetition, always remaining in sight of a horizon, fortunately, never attainable. At Maxxi, a group of artists, inspired by Balla, demonstrate that, when life is life, it never ceases to be an open, unpredictable laboratory of experimentation, realisation and light.
