Aeropittura. Movement in Italian art, a development of Futurism, in which artists attempted to depict the sensation of flight (the term is Italian for ‘air painting’). Marinetti published a manifesto of Aeropittura in 1929 and there were exhibitions in Italy in 1931, Paris in 1932, and Berlin in 1944, but no important works emerged from the movement, which virtually came to an end with Marinetti's death in 1944. The artists associated with Aeropittura included the painter Gerardo Dottori (1884–1977) and the sculptor Bruno Munari (1907–98).
