Aroldo Bonzagni (Cento, 1887 – Milan, 1918) came to Milan and came into contact with the nascent group of FuTourists (Cento, – Milan,) was an artistic parabola of approximately a decade in which he developed realistic expressionist language. The painting and drawing was accompanied by caricature, illustration and poster. It was above all in the latter that his political sentiment was manifested, reinforced by the presentation of the works in some showcases via Dante and the frequent intervention of censorship. Many of his satirical billboards were dedicated to news reports (evictions at Via Palestrina, 1909) and Italian domestic and foreign politics, from Libya’s war to protest claims, to the interventionist campaign at the beginning of the first world conflict. However, a political reading also relies on other topics: the work and industry in the growing metropolitan areas, the mountainous events of the Milan Borghesia and the popular views of the outskirts, a theatre of life of poor and marginalised people (Societal waste, 1918).
