SANSONI TATO - Biography
Guglielmo Sansoni, known as Tato (Bologna, 1896 - Rome, 1974), was an Italian futurist artist, one of the protagonists of aeropainting.
In 1920 he organized a fake funeral to "die" like Guglielmo Sansoni and be reborn as a futurist Tato. He met Marinetti for the first time in Bologna in 1922 and became friends with him. In 1929 together with other futurists he published the Manifesto dell'Aeropittura in the people's gazette. In September 11930 he and Marinetti organized the first national photographic competition, and between that year and the next one proposed the Manifesto of Futurist Photography. In 1941 he wrote the autobiography Tato Told by Tato. He died in the capital in 1974.
