Raffaele de Grada - Lacerba - 1970-1970

prestigious complete facsimile reprint of the famous futurist magazine "Lacerba" (Florence, 1913-1915). This specific artefact is the historical co-edition published in June 1970 by the Archivi d'arte del XX secolo (Rome) and Gabriele Mazzotta Editore (Milan)

Contents: Exact and 100% faithful facsimile reproduction of all issues of the legendary literary and artistic magazine founded by Giovanni Papini and Ardengo Soffici, crucial for Italian Futurism.
Binding: Elegant editorial binding in half brown leather and boards in cloth or decorated paper with lilies (reminiscent of the Florence coat of arms), with gold-foil titles embossed on the spine.
Casket: The volume is housed inside its original rigid cardboard protective case, also decorated with the same geometric lilies motif.

This 1970 volume represents, instead, the first edition of the complete facsimile reprint in a single volume (Mazzotta would later issue a second, more economical black paperback edition in 1980).
Page count: The work gathers the entire corpus published in about 800 total pages (In-folio format, about 35 x 25 cm).
The second volume: Inside the original case, in addition to the heavy main tome of Lacerba, there is a second, thinner fascicle/volume entitled "Introduction to Lacerba", edited by the renowned art critic Raffaele De Grada
