Scarpelli (Naples, 1870 - Rome, 1933) was an Italian journalist, cartoonist, satirist, humorist and avant-garde artist. He participated in the Futurist movement: in particular, a famous Futurist evening in which he participated at the Verdi Theater in Florence and which ended with two hours of uninterrupted throwing of fruit, vegetables, eggs and other foodstuffs against Marinetti, Papini, Boccioni, Carrà, Soffici, Palazzeschi and Scarpelli himself. Furthermore, the shouts and whistles of the public prevented the listening of the speeches prepared by the "futurists". He also worked as a cartoonist for "Il Balilla", "Il Popolo d'Italia", "Numero", "Il Pasquino", the "Giornalino della Domenica" and "Il Corriere dei Piccoli".
