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.

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.
