The Futurist's Manifesto of Futurism (1909) had some disturbing parallels/influence. Disturbing to me, anyways. As a designer, I see this glossed over by plenty of folks who seem to be okay with blindly romanticizing Futurism and Fascist architecture.

Marinetti has been on Mussolini's side - like most futurists - for many years. While there were some divergences, and the relationship between futurism and fascism are very debated, the fact that a link between the two exists is undeniable indeed.
