Gabriele D'Annunzio, the renowned Italian poet, captivated audiences with his powerful words and charismatic presence. In 1914, he mesmerized listeners as he read his speech during the inauguration of the Monument of Thousand a Quarto near Genes (Genova). His eloquence echoed through the air, leaving an indelible mark on all who were fortunate enough to witness it. But life is fleeting, and even great men like D'Annunzio eventually meet their end. A poignant lithograph depicts the death of this literary genius, reminding us of our mortality and the impermanence of fame. D'Annunzio's artistic influence extended beyond poetry. He collaborated with Eleonora Duse in "Sogno di un mattino di primavera, " where her passionate performance left audiences breathless.

The poet was not only known for his words but also for his grandeur. Spectacular shows filled with picturesque scenes unfolded before enchanted spectators. These vibrant lithographs showcase D'Annunzio's ability to create captivating visual experiences that transported viewers into realms of imagination and wonder. In 1914, D'Annunzio found himself among esteemed poets at The Poets Corner. With pen and ink on paper, he immortalized himself alongside other literary giants who had left their mark on history. However, it wasn't just art that fueled D'Annunzio's passion; patriotism burned brightly within him too. In a daring flight over Trieste, he launched patriotic messages to inspire his fellow countrymen during challenging times – an act depicted vividly in another striking lithograph titled "Eja. Eja. Eja. Alala. " D'Annunzio's dedication to honor heroes was unwavering.
