Eleven essays include discussions of the artistic milieu in Rome during the period, the simultaneously avant-garde and conservative views of Valori Plastici publisher Mario Broglio, the journal's role in the post-World War I dialogue between Italian and German artists, and the relationship of its program to the Milan-based Novecento movement." -- with a bonus offer-- .
