This painting is a visual record of the sensations which the artist experienced at a demonstration in the Piazza del Quirinale, in front of the Palazzo, then the King´s palace. Balla partecipated in all the patriotic demonstrations of 1915 with great enthusiasm. The two large, wave-like, swelling volumes represent the shouting of patriotic slogans and the small swirling volumes stand for crowds of men in straw boaters.
