Scope and Contents

Corvi toured the Archive during a business trip to Miami in 1984 and was shown a poem written about him in Cervo Volante as well as Futurist works. He was amazed by the poem which was unknown to him and invited the Sackners to stay in Piacenza. There Corvi mentioned his friendship with Manzoni with whom he performed club dates. He retrieved this Manifesto which he had not seen in 30 years and recalled the intensity of writing it. He reread it stating, "now I don't understand a word it says!" This is Manzoni's first manifsto (Manzoni, Derbylius 2005). -- Source of annotation: Marvin or Ruth Sackner.
