General Gabriele D'Annunzio, a  Fascism Forerunner

Italy's Rijeka Takeover. Overprinted "Provisional Government" (in Italian)

1921 Fiume Mint Stamp

A horizontal line you may see on the scan is from a plastic pocket of  my stamp album and is not on the stamp.

As part of an Italian nationalist reaction against the Paris Peace Conference, he set up the short-lived Italian Regency of Carnaro in Fiume with himself as Duce. The constitution made "music" the fundamental principle of the state, which was corporatist in nature. Though D'Annunzio preached Italian ultranationalism and never called himself a fascist, he has been accused of partially inventing Italian fascism as both his ideas and aesthetics were an influence upon Benito Mussolini.
