“’Dr F. T. Marinetti,’ as he proudly signed many of his early essays and theoretical reflections, conducted his surgical strikes against the perceived illnesses of the body politic, and earned himself the reputation of being il Poeta Pink, named after a popular medicine believed to ‘restore the weak organism and provide the best cure against anemia, sclerosis and general fatigue.’”

—G’nter Berghaus, from Theatre, Performance, and the Historical Avant-Garde, 2005.
