Carso=Topaia : Una notte in dolina + Topi in amore (drawing), ca. 1917.

A drawing with freeword text, depicting mice exploring an army camp, watched by a military figure smoking a long, curved pipe. Perhaps submitted to Rognoni for the special collection of free word compositions by Futurists at the front assembled for his La Folgore Futurista, 1916-1917. Carso, present day Kras, was contested between Austria and Italy from May 1916 to Oct. 1917. Marinetti's title suggests the equation between the army camps there and the rat's nest portrait in the drawings.

1 sheet.
