EDITORS COMMENTS
1. Title: "Fiume under Italian Occupation: A Street Transformed by Nationalist Fervor, 1919" This evocative photograph captures the transformation of a street in Fiume, now known as Rijeka, Croatia, during the Italian nationalist occupation in 1919. The image is a testament to the intense political turmoil and shifting allegiances that marked the post-World War I Balkan region. The scene is dominated by the Italian tricolor flag, which drapes the buildings and flutters in the wind. The Italian nationalist fervor is further emphasized by the portraits of King Victor Emmanuel III, the charismatic poet and politician Gabriele D'Annunzio, and two unidentified generals. The eagle, a symbol of Italian power, is prominently displayed on the buildings, as soldiers stand guard, adding to the sense of militaristic pride. Fiume, a strategic port city on the Adriatic Sea, had been a contentious issue between Italy and the newly formed Kingdom of Serbs, Croats, and Slovenes (later Yugoslavia) following the war. In September 1919, D'Annunzio led a nationalist movement to seize the city, proclaiming it the "Free State of Fiume." The Italian occupation lasted until January 1920, when the city was eventually ceded to Yugoslavia under the Treaty of Rapallo. This photograph offers a glimpse into the complex and often violent history of the Balkans during this period, as various nationalist movements vied for power and control in the aftermath of the Great War. The image is a poignant reminder of the enduring influence of fascist and nationalist ideologies on European politics.
