recently saw a lot of material at the Museo del '900 in Milan.
The display shows project, pictures and the original tools used by Russolo build it.
This summer I saw a massive modern version of the Intonarumore at Fondazione Prada's Art or Sound exhibition, http://www.prada.com/it/fondazione/cacorner#home!, which would be worth a visit even from abroad.
Unfortunately Russolo's device was not in action when I arrived.

I was at this in New York, Luciano Chessa presenting music for 16 Futurist Noise Intoners. I have to say the Russolo piece sounded much better in person, very aggressive sounding city with 1910 era cars roaring about, too bad audio doesn't capture it. I think the worst was that guy for the Sugarcubes playing a coronet to one of them and shouting a bunch of word salad, also seeing Tony Conrad yell into the bass intoner speaker was good 2nd. All the new compositions seem to focus on more the composers instead of the instruments themselves, which I think was a damn shame, except I really liked Joan La Barbara's contribution.
