@weltgeist.v2: In 1919, the Italian poet and war veteran Gabriele D’Annunzio led nationalist volunteers into Fiume, occupying the city during the territorial disputes that followed the First World War. His forces held it until 1920, defying the Italian government and turning the occupation into a confrontation over nationalism and the postwar settlement. The episode marked D’Annunzio’s transition from wartime aviator to the leader of a nationalist political undertaking. #historytok #italy #vitalism #gioscotti
