So here's a chap we sort of overlooked.or haven't really
discussed. Apparently some of what he did served as inspiration
for Mussolini and Italian Fascism. Writer turned War Hero after
WW1, associated with the Arditi and set up his own quazi-state,
the Italian Regency of Carnaro. The Charter of Carnaro. The
constitution established a corporatist state, with nine
corporations to represent the different sectors of the economy,
where membership was mandatory, plus a tenth corporation devised
by D'Annunzio, to represent the superior individuals. The
legislative power vested in a bicameral legislature consisting
of a Council of the Optimates (Consiglio degli Ottimi) and a
Council of Corporations (Consiglio dei Provvisori). Joint
sessions of the Councils (Arengo del Carnaro), would be
responsible for treaties with foreign powers, amendments to the
constitution, and appointment of a dictator in times of
emergency. The charter designated "music" to be one of the
fundamental principles of the Fiume State. Discuss, fin
