by Volt (Vincenzo Fani)
First published in Roma Futurista, 1920

Greenish yellow bile of professors against Futurism, old bags against style. For the moment, they can rejoice! Fashion is going through a period of stagnation and boredom. Mediocrity and wretchedness weave grey spider webs upon the colored flowerbeds of fashion and art.
