The atlas emerged from the highly charged intellectual and political climate of 1970s Italy, a period marked by intense social conflict and the proliferation of extra-parliamentary left movements.

Mari, one of the most influential figures in postwar Italian design, was deeply committed to the idea that visual form could serve an educational and emancipatory function. In this project, he translates complex political concepts into a series of large-format graphic “maps” intended to visualize relationships among historical, social, and ideological forces. Leonetti, associated with the Italian neo-avant-garde and leftist cultural circles, provides the accompanying theoretical framework, positioning the atlas as a tool for analyzing “line struggle” within Marxist thought.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eEdizioni L’erba voglio was an extension of the Milan-based journal L’erba voglio (1971–1977), a key platform for radical critique linking Marxism, psychoanalysis, feminism, and anti-authoritarian pedagogy. The publishing initiative sought to experiment with both content and form, producing works that challenged conventional modes of political discourse and knowledge transmission. Within this context, the atlas can be understood as part of a broader attempt to create new intellectual instruments for collective analysis and political practice.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0642\/1590\/8412\/files\/Screen_Shot_2026-09-17_at_9.36.42_AM.png?v=1789655863\" alt=\"\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eRather than a conventional atlas, the work belongs to the tradition of the artist’s book, in which visual structure and graphic language are integral to meaning.
