DOKUDOC: Fiume o Morte!

In 1919, outraged by the outcome of the Paris Peace Conference, which proposed handing the city of Fiume (now Rijeka) to Croatia, Italian poet, aristocrat, and army officer Gabriele D’Annunzio declared the Italian Regency of Carnaro. The ensuing 16-month occupation stands as one of history’s most peculiar experiments in governance. Igor Bezinović revisits this singular episode just over a century later, employing the help of his fellow Rijeka’s citizens in a bid to reclaim history and tell their version of what happened.
