After an extended courtship, in 1923 Marinetti married Benedetta Cappa (1897-1977), a writer and painter and a pupil of Giacomo Balla.
Cappa and Marinetti collaborated on a genre of mixed-media assemblages in the mid-1920s they called tattilismo ("Tactilism"), and she was a strong proponent and practitioner of the aeropittura movement after its inception in 1929 [REF].
