Abstract
Through a dense analysis of Marcello Gallian’s writings (1902-1968) published in some little Roman reviews like «Spirito Nuovo», «I lupi», «2000», «Avanscoperta» and «L’interplanetario», this paper is aimed at clarifying his role in the period of the second futurism. In this context Gallian’s anarcho-fascism and his radical protest represent an original, unusual voice denouncing the social hardships experienced by his own genera tion.
