Painted a few days after the assassination of Archduke Franz Ferdinand in Sarajevo (28 June), and published in the magazine Lacerba on the day that Germany declared war on Russia (1 August), this image was inspired by the vortex-like spinning of leaflets dropped from an airplane over the Piazza del Duomo of Milan. Although originally titled Dipinto parolibero (Festa patriottica), it later acquired the title Manifestazione Interventista (Interventionist Demonstration) by which it is generally known today. This refers to Filippo Tommaso Marinetti's and Carlo Carrà's active support of Italian intervention against Austria in the Great War, suggested by the Italian flags and occasional words, such as TRIESTE ITALIANO.
