Ivo Pannaggi

Ivo Pannaggi (Macerata, August 28, 1901– Macerata, May 11, 1981) was an Italian painter and architect who was active in the Futurist movement and later associated with the Bauhaus.

Biography Pannaggi was born in Macerata in 1901. He studied architecture in Rome and Florence. Pannaggi lived in Berlin between 1927 and 1929. He moved to Norway in 1939 and returned to Italy in 1971. The manifesto emphasized the importance of machine aesthetics (arte meccanica), which became one of the dominant strands of Futurism in the 1920s. He and Paladini also staged the Mechanical Futurist Ballet (Ballo meccano futurista) at Anton Giulio Bragaglia's Casa d'Arte.

Around the same time he painted Speeding Train (Treno in corsa), perhaps his most famous work.
