3. July 7th - DE CHIRICO
Before World War I, De Chirico founded the scuola metafisica, art movement, which even influenced surrealism.

4. July 14th - BALLA
Giacomo Balla is an Italian painter, poet & one of the founders of the Futurism movement, il Futurismo. Light, color, movement & speed were the core of his art, not violence & machines like other futurists. Balla's inspiration was modern life & society and, thanks to many travels, his unique taste is appreciated everywhere.
