Remo Chiti was born in 1891 in Staggia Sinese.
He was a writer and member of the Florentine Futurist group centred around L'Italia
Futurista.
An active supporter of synthetic theatre, his only
publication was I creatori del teatro futurista (The Creators of Futurist Synthetic Theatre)
of 1915, although
he made many contributions to a wide range of publications.
In 1916 he was a member of the editorial board of L'Italia Futurista and
this same year he co-signed, with Arnaldo
Ginna, Mario
Carli, Emilio Settimelli,
Oscar Mara and Neri Nannetti, the Manifesto
of Futurist Science published in L'Italia Futurista, Florence,
on 15 June.

Remo Chiti, 1916

In 1918, he headed a local fascio
of the Futurist Political Party in Rome, with Carli, Alberto Bucinelli and
Piccardo Calcaprini.

Something of a moderate, during
the hot debate over the future of the Futurist-Fascist relationship during
1933, Chiti attempted to mediate between the Right and Left-wing factions
by suggesting a "Futurism of Substance" that allowed
every shade of doctrine between anarcho-revolutionary and
conservative-conventional.
Chiti died in Rome in 1971.
