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.
Welcome... to The Wrong Side of History.
