An art-inspired gift for the home. This striking sculpture reproduces Unique Forms of Continuity in Space, a monumental bronze sculpture created by the Italian Futurist Umberto Boccioni (Italian, 1882-1916) in 1913 and cast in 1950. The work's dynamism and energy reflects the Futurists's celebration of the fast pace and mechanical power of the modern world; as such, the figure's marching silhouette appears deformed by speed, while its sleek metal contours allude to machinery. Believing that modern technological warfare would shatter Italy's obsession with the classical past, the Futurists campaigned for Italy's entry into World War I on the side of the Allies. Boccioni was tragically killed in action in 1916 at the age of 34.

This neorealist masterpiece by Vittorio de Sica follows the daily life of an elderly pensioner as he struggles to make ends meet during Italy's postwar economic recovery. Alone except for his dog, Flike, Umberto is determined to maintain his dignity in a city where human kindness seems to have been swallowed up by the forces of modernization. His simple quest to satisfy his most fundamental needs - food, shelter, companionship - makes for one of the most heartbreaking stories ever filmed, and an

Umberto Eco is popularly known for his best-selling novel, The Name of the Rose. This was a quintessential postmodernist fiction devised by an Italian professor of semiotics, an academic versed in medieval philosophy and linguistics but equally at ease with writing mass media journalism. Eco, football fan and Sherlock Holmes of semiotics, blurs the boundaries between ‘low’ and ‘high’ cultures. Eco is a public intellectual engaged in reading the practices of everyday life. Football for him is a metaphor, a motif and a vehicle for interpreting the nuances and excesses of our human fascination with ideals – ideals that are mobilised by culture into obsessions with sports celebrities. Football is more than a game – it is a sign system that codes experience and gives it meaning on a number of levels. It allows the spectator to read life with the help of the media apparatuses that direct and control our viewing experiences. "Umberto Eco and Football" engages with Eco the cultural critic as he meanders through the signs of culture with a keen and witty eye for the forgotten details of life’s great text, its serendipities, its misreadings.
