Gabriele d'Annunzio, the soldier poet at the Rescue
Gabriele d'Annunzio, poet, playwright, politician and fighter of the First World War, was born in Pescara on 12 March 1863. The interventionist campaign in May 1915, his military actions on the Isonzo front, the expedition to Fiume and above all the Carta del Carnaro have linked the Poet to the history of the Adriatic frontier. The publishing house Passaggio al Bosco has recently published LA RISCOSSA. Scritti e discorsi per gli italiani in trincea, edited by Guido Cabrele, a collection of war speeches held by Gabriele d'Annunzio between November 1917 and May 1918. This incredible series of interventions – ignored for too long – represent a contribution...
D'Annunzio's biography "Ariel armed" reprinted
The first edition of "Ariel armato", the famous biography of Gabriele d'Annunzio, dates back to 1931, printed in a single volume of 507 numbered copies on handmade Fabriano paper, bound in canvas, in the colors of the "Commander" - blue and red - with symbolic figuration by Guido Marussig, a Julian artist who had followed the Poet in the Fiume enterprise. The Oaks publishing house has recently printed a new edition with an introduction by Antonio Zollino of the monumental biography of the soldier poet written by Angelo Sodini (1875-1939), writer and literary critic, friend and curator of the works of Gabriele d'Annunzio, which immediately became a great classic. Angelo Sodini,...
New publications on Gabriele d'Annunzio
The enigma of d'Annunzio and then Rol and Licio Gelli…. On May 5th, Laura Curtale's book will be released with an unpublished letter from the Poet to a medium: from the interview that the writer and TV host gave to CulturaIdentità, in addition to the surprise of a secret and "esoteric" d'Annunzio, an unpublished portrait of Licio Gelli emerges, in whose Villa in Arezzo Laura Curtale was a guest, where she had the opportunity to discover the "venerable master's" love for literature and poetry during walks in his company in the garden of the Villa and along that swimming pool built especially for his beloved daughter who died in a car accident… From the very first exchange...

Gabriele d'Annunzio, the most private and scandalous side
"Keep freedom intact to the point of intoxication." Benignly obsessed by the ghost of Gabriele D'Annunzio - of whom I suspect he is the reincarnation - Giordano Bruno Guerri prepares the conference on the madness of the Poet at night (at the Follemente festival in Teramo, directed by Gianluca Veneziani). And in the meantime he receives the news of his reconfirmation as President of the Vittoriale degl'Italiani. With his fourth mandate in thirteen years, he is a repeat offender. By now he is part of the sacred walls. Giordano, the dust of the centuries settles on you. Still president and with a museum/mausoleum/circus maximus that receives no public funding, and with Franceschini, a left-wing minister who renames...
Bloody Christmas, epilogue of d'Annunzio's Fiume enterprise
Gabriele d'Annunzio's march from Ronchi to Fiume on 12 September 1919 was intended to resolve with a bold coup the impasse regarding the definition of the border between Italy and the newly born Kingdom of Serbs, Croats and Slovenes. The annexation of the port of Carnaro to Italy was not contemplated by the London Pact, but was proclaimed by the Fiume National Council on 30 October 1918, appealing, as had been done a few days earlier by the Fiume deputy to the Hungarian Parliament Andrea Ossoinack, to the principle of self-determination of peoples. The latter was part of that 14-point program intended to guarantee peace in the world and on the basis of which President Woodrow Wilson...

The Vittoriale is the plastic representation of an idea
On the occasion of the centenary of the Vittoriale, we resume the interview on the subject with the historian Marco Cimmino, edited by our friends at Verticale-Blog. 1) At the Vittoriale there is not only the imprint of the style of one of the great spirits of Italy, but almost the trace of a manifesto of life, of a declaration to the world. Could you try to explain to us better what it is about? The Vittoriale is the plastic representation of an idea: not of an idea of a house, but of a vision of things, of a precise Weltanschauung. Originally, Villa Maroni was a beautiful house on the hill, like so many on the shores of Garda: Gabriele D'Annunzio transformed it into a place...
Who is against us? History of the Regency of Carnaro
Among the many initiatives and publications that have marked the centenary of Gabriele d'Annunzio's expedition to Fiume and the Carta del Carnaro, we highlight today the work of Consul Federico Lorenzo Ramaioli "Quis contra nos? Storia della Reggenza del Carnaro da d'Annunzio alla Costituzione di Fiume", of which we publish the Author's introduction. For decades, in recent history, the Carnaro region has been at the center of disputes and disagreements that arose with reference to the question of the eastern border of Italy, with alternating events around which the lives of those who, coming from various contexts, fought for the fate of the city of...
