Re: Q: F T Marinetti photograph

I do not have a clue about the odd setting in which Marinetti appears in
this photograph, but I do know that Mussolini half-heartedly sent a badly
prepared expeditionary corps at Hitler's request to support operation
Barbarossa. This corps, along with the Bulgarian army that accompanied the
German assault, was completely wiped out by the Russian counter-attack in
1942. At the same time, the best of the Italian army was fighting in the
Mediterranean basin.
