About this listen

History is not what you think it is.

The Wrong Side of History is a narrative podcast that explores the forgotten, uncomfortable, and controversial chapters of our past — the stories that don’t fit the official version.

From failed utopias to dangerous ideologies, from charismatic leaders to collective illusions, each episode dives into moments where history took a darker, stranger, or unexpected turn.

This is not just about what happened.

It’s about why it still matters.

If you’re drawn to hidden histories, psychological power, and the fine line between vision and manipulation… you’re in the right place.

    The Poet's Utopia: The Madness of Fiume

    What happens when a poet decides to found a state? Fiume, 1919. While diplomats in Paris were redrawing Europe's borders with a ruler, Gabriele D'Annunzio arrived in the city to transform it into a laboratory of beauty, power, and pure provocation.

    Between utopian dreams, gender equality, and the ecstasy of the crowd, D'Annunzio didn't just occupy a city; he created a dangerous prototype. In this first episode of The Wrong Side of History, we explore the thin line between art and propaganda, and discover how a dream of beauty became a handbook for the darkest regimes of the 20th century.
