Das Gemälde "La Strada entra nella Casä" von Umberto Boccioni, ein herausragendes Beispiel der futuristischen Malerei, zeigt eindrucksvoll die Dynamik und den Lärm des urbanen Lebens.

Heute gehört es zum Bestand des Sprengel Museums in Hannover und spiegelt die künstlerische Vision Boccioni's wider, die Bewegung und Energie der Moderne einzufangen.
