EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the Soldiers of D'Annunzio, named after the Italian poet and war veteran Gabriele D'Annunzio, marching through the streets of Fiume, a seaport city in the Free State of Fiume (now Rijeka, Croatia), during the first anniversary of D'Annunzio's arrival in 1920. The Latin motto on their flag, Quis Contra Nos, translates to "Who Is Against Us?" and symbolizes the soldiers' unwavering commitment and determination. D'Annunzio had taken control of Fiume in September 1919, following the end of World War I, and declared it an independent state. This event marked the beginning of a unique period in European history, as the city became a symbol of resistance against the Treaty of Versailles and its perceived injustices. The Soldiers of D'Annunzio were an eclectic mix of volunteers from various racial and ethnic backgrounds, reflecting the diverse population of the city. Their uniforms, a blend of military and theatrical elements, showcased their dedication to the cause and their readiness to defend their territory. This photograph, taken in 1920, offers a glimpse into the 1920s and the complex political landscape of Europe during this time. The image of these soldiers, with their determined expressions and unified stance, serves as a reminder of the power of collective action and the enduring spirit of resistance.
