Friend of Eleonora Duse, participated in the futurist movement and wrote for futurist journals; established a deep, intimate relationship with F.T. Marinetti; with him, wrote Un Ventre di donna (A Woman's Womb: A Surgical Novel, 1919), an autobiographical novel about the futurist women's manifesto and her fight to overcome cancer of the uterus, though Marinetti's voice dominates.
