Abstract
Futurism, avant-garde movement, emerged in Italy in the early twentieth century, whose founder is Filippo Tommaso Marinetti, reached other European countries and countries from other continents, including Brazil. Vanguard spread through diverse ways, mainly through the translations of the futurists' writings. In Brazil, the first translation of the Manifesto comes in the same year of its publication in Italy, 1909. The translation is thus a way of reinvigorating the text, as it offers the possibility to take new readings and interpretations, and also to blend into other cultures. In this sense, it has a central role, that of connecting two or more different cultural systems and cause them to talk.
