Story of a Boy is a modern artwork realized in 1910 by the Italian artist Filiberto Scarpelli (Naples, 1870 - Rome, 1933). Two Original drawings realized in China ink on paper. Passepartout is included (50x 35 cm). Good conditions and aged. Filiberto Scarpelli . Scarpelli (Naples, 1870 - Rome, 1933) was an Italian journalist, cartoonist, satirist, humorist and avant-garde artist. He participated in the Futurist movement: in particular, a famous Futurist evening in which he participated at the Verdi Theater in Florence and which ended with two hours of uninterrupted throwing of fruit, vegetables, eggs and other foodstuffs against Marinetti, Papini, Boccioni, Carrà, Soffici, Palazzeschi and Scarpelli himself. Furthermore, the shouts and whistles of the public prevented the listening of the speeches prepared by the "futurists". He also worked as a cartoonist for "Il Balilla", "Il Popolo d'Italia", "Numero", "Il Pasquino", the "Giornalino della Domenica" and "Il Corriere dei Piccoli". This piece is attributed to the mentioned designer/maker. It has no attribution mark and no

however it is well documented in design history. I take full responsibility for any authenticity
