Vittorio Osvaldo Tommasini, known as "FARFA", was born in Trieste on 10 December 1879.
He joined Second Futurism and as a poet he in turn published texts experimenting with syntactic-linguistic disintegration such as "We, billionaire of fantasy" (1933) or "Marconia" (1937). The peculiarity of FARFA's poetry lies in the complete anthropomorphization of his universe of objects.
FARFA played an active role in the futurist movement in cities such as Trieste, Turin, Savona and Sanremo. He was known for his skill as a poster artist, ceramist, photographer and poet, producing colorful works of art and books with a bizarre, Dadaist character. Since the 1950s it has attracted the attention of surrealists and other protagonists of the avant-garde. FARFA was included in Edoardo Sanguineti's Italian Poetry of the Twentieth Century and in Glauco Viazzi's Poets of Futurism 1909-1944.
The artist died on 20 July 1964 in San Remo. He left thousands of unpublished poems, which he personally bundled haphazardly into jute coal bags. Nobody knows where those bags went.
