Life

Dottori attended the Accademia di Belle Arti in his hometown and came across Futurism in 1912. He was particularly close to Giacomo Balla .

Back in Perugia, he teaches painting at the local academy.

Dottori's special position as a futurist is mainly related to the second futurism and aeropittura , the "air painting".

In 1933 he painted “Il Duce” and in 1941 he wrote the “Manifesto Futurista Umbra dell 'Aeropittura”. In 1967 he signed the “Futurismo oggi” manifesto, together with Benedetto, Acquaviva, Bruschetti, Dalmonte, Crali, Pettoruti, Marasco and Sartoris. This manifesto was accompanied by an exhibition in Formia . He remained faithful to Futurism as a painter until the end of his life.
