D'Annunzio: Poet/Revolutionary/'Fiumanist'
Gabriele D'Annunzio was first a celebrated Italian poet (in the vein of Byron), and then became a military leader who single-handedly (Him and his Arditi) took over the contested city of Fiume (now-a-days in Croatia), immediately after the first World War. Over 18 mounths D'Annunzio and his Fiume remained independent of Yugoslavia and Italy, devising a radical constitution based on a unique form of anarcho-syndicalism (nominally called 'Fiumanism'), trying to create an 'Anti-League of Nations' that would be made up of the newly emerging Third World countries and former colonies of the world.
Do yourself a favor (especially the discontented revolutionaries of this planet) and research this man, Gabriele D'Annunzio.
[I apologize for the linked article about him being in Italian, its difficult to find decent articles about him in English. Just learn Italian, fucko.]
Or you could read this biography in inglese, tho it is expensive.
On a related note, the Futuristi are fascinating.
