In February 1910 the painters [[Umberto Boccioni]], [[Carlo Carrà]], [[Giacomo Balla]], [[Gino Severini]] and [[Luigi Russolo]] signed the ''Manifesto dei pittori futuristi'' in Milan and in April of the same year the ''Manifesto tecnico della pittura futurista,'',<ref>{{cite book|first1=Maria|last1=Drudi Gambillo|first2=Teresa|last2=Fiori|title=Archivi del futurismo|publisher= Edizioni De Luca|year=1958|page=63|language=it}} {{No ISBN}}</ref> which they contributed, together with others posters signed in other Italian cities, to found the artistic movement of [[Futurism]]. Upon the death of Umberto Boccioni in 1916, Carrà and Severini found themselves in a phase of evolution towards [[Cubism|cubist]] painting, consequently, the Milanese group disbanded, moving the headquarters of the movement from Milan to Rome, with the consequent birth of the "second Futurism".

Lombardy was the birthplace of another important artistic movement of the 20th century, the [[Novecento Italiano|Novecento]], which was born in Milan at the end of 1922. It was started by a group of artists composed of [[Mario Sironi]], [[Achille Funi]], [[Leonardo Dudreville]], [[Anselmo Bucci]], [[Emilio Malerba]], [[Pietro Marussig]] and [[Ubaldo Oppi]] who, at the Pesaro Gallery in Milan, joined together in the new movement baptized Novecento by Bucci.<ref>{{Treccani|novecento_res-109c24a0-8bb2-11dc-8e9d-0016357eee51_(Enciclopedia-Italiana)/|NOVECENTO}}</ref> These artists, who felt they were translators of the spirit of the 20th century, came from different experiences and artistic currents, but linked by a common sense of "return to order" in art after the avant-garde experiments especially of Futurism: in this sense this artistic movement also adopted the name of [[Monumentalism|simplified Neoclassicism]]. The Novecento movement also manifested itself in literature with [[Massimo Bontempelli]] and above all in architecture with the famous architects [[Giovanni Muzio]], [[Giò Ponti]], {{ill|Paolo Mezzanotte|it}} and others. Some of the works of the major Lombard artists of the 20th century are exhibited at the [[Museo del Novecento]] in Milan.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.museodelnovecento.org/it/collezione|title=In Collezione|access-date=28 November 2017|language=it}}</ref>
