(Parma, 1879 – Florence, 1952), musician and composer, was a student of Ildebrando Pizzetti. In 1911, he founded the Parma Futurist group and became a friend and correspondent of Pratella and Caravaglios, forming the first group of Futurist musicians. Despite this, Marinetti did not consider it appropriate to include him in the movement's official roles as a musician.
In 1914, he published "Dissonanza" and "Three Pieces for Piano" in the Florentine magazine. After the war, he taught at the Florence Conservatory of Music and gradually abandoned all avant-garde research.
The Spartaco Copertini Fund is made up of the following sections: Correspondence, entirely photocopied, which collects letters sent to Copertini by various correspondents including Pizzetti, Dallapiccola, Frazzi, Papini, Balilla Pratella and the musician's replies to Frazzi, Pizzetti and Pratella; Journals, with the collection of some issues of the magazine “Medusa”; Library, which preserves two compositions by the musician, “Three pieces for piano 1910-1912” and “Poem n.15 op.19 violin and piano 1915”.
