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...
Between Fiume and Moscow
The Fiume Enterprise was a truly revolutionary project, represented by the magazine “La Testa di Ferro” In recent decades, historical research has attempted to demonstrate how the Fiume Enterprise, and more generally the political D’Annunzioism, should be recognized as an autonomous and complex phenomenology, irreducible to a mere anticipation of fascism, highlighting, in addition to the irredentist and patriotic vocation, the social and libertarian aspects.

Toscanini's concert in Rijeka

Fiumanism between patriotism and revolutionary syndicalism
Ronchi dei Legionari is a place intimately linked to the history of the Risorgimento since 1882, when Guglielmo Oberdan was captured there and later hanged in Trieste for having planned to assassinate Emperor Franz Joseph of Habsburg. A short distance away is the imposing Redipuglia staircase, the largest military shrine in Italy, where lie the remains of around 100.000 fallen soldiers in the terrifying battles of the Isonzo fought by the then Royal Army against the Austro-Hungarian troops between June 1915 and October 1917. It was also from Ronchi that Gabriele d'Annunzio and his Legionaries set out on the evening of 11 September 1919, precisely...
