Oltre D'Annunzio : la crisi di Fiume tra esperienze paramilitari e sopravvivenze imperiali (1918-1921)

Prevailing narratives about postwar Fiume have focussed on D'Annunzio and Dannunzianism as forerunners of Mussolini and Fascism. This review analyses three new books marked by the common purpose of going beyond D'Annunzio, although their authors (R. Pupo, M. Mondini and D. Reill) deal in different ways with the legacies of the Great War and of the Habsburg Empire. Notably, Reill's The Fiume Crisis questions approaches exclusively focused on violence and nationalism.
