In 1900 Soffici moved from Florence to Paris, where he lived for seven years, working for Symbolist journals. While in Paris he became acquainted with Braque, Derain, Picasso, Gris and Apollinaire. The words 'Piccola velocità' (slow speed) are incorporated in the work on a transport label. (Source: Wikipedia; http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Main_Page)
