Il processo e l'assoluzione di "Mafarka il Futurista"

The text documents a public trial over an allegedly obscene novel, depicting a crowded Milan courtroom, the prosecutor's bid to close the hearing, and the defense's push to keep proceedings open. It reproduces the author's energetic self-defense that frames his work within the Futurist movement and explains the disputed narrative of a bold African hero who moves from warlike conquest to the creation of an ideal winged offspring, bypassing conventional sexual relationships. The volume also compiles expert reports, legal pleadings, and critics' arguments that interrogate literary method, artistic intent, and claims about morality, language, and cultural renewal.
