Career
editThe son of Count Tullio Ginanni Corradini (who was also mayor of Ravenna) and brother of Arnaldo Ginna (the names Corra and Ginna were suggested by Giacomo Balla by assonance with the words running and gymnastics), he spent his childhood and most of his youth in his hometown, combining regular studies with various eclectic readings, taking an interest in all knowledge, from literature to art, from philosophy to theosophy.
At the end of 1912 he founded with Mario Carli and Emilio Settimelli the magazineThe Centaur, which aimed at the expression of a non-dogmatic conception of art. In 1916, he participated in the making of the filmFuturist Life, in collaboration with Balla and Marinetti, a film produced and directed by Ginna (now for this film there are only a few frames).
In 1915 he published the novelSam Dunn is dead, (Sam Dunn è Morto). He left Futurism a few years after the end of the First World War, publishing novels and escapist comedies that got a decent success with the public, such asThe Island of Kisses of 1918, written in cooperation with Marinetti, orThe Passatore of 1929 (on Stefano Pelloni).
