 Fiume: Tutte le informazioni su Fiume su Encyclopedia.it
Un fiume è la conseguenza dello scorrimento per gravità sulle terre emerse di acque originate sia da pioggia che scioglimento delle neve o dei ghiacci, fino al livello di base che coincide con il mare, per i bacini esoreici, ma può risultare anche notevolmente inferiore, per quelli endoreici.
Tutto il territorio che viene drenato da un fiume e dalla rete dei suoi tributari (affluenti) di ogni ordine costituisce il bacino idrografico di quel fiume; il perimetro del bacino rappresenta la linea spartiacque.
La linea che lungo il corso di un fiume unisce i punti a massima velocità, il cosiddetto filone della corrente, non risulta necessariamente mediana, ma si sposta ora verso una sponda ora verso l'altra seguendo l'andamento delle profondità: la velocità media corrisponde all'incirca al 60/80% della massima.

 Istria on the Internet - History - Rijeka / Fiume   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
Fiume was one of the first places considered—indeed, the Commercial Commission instituted at Graz in 1717 voted to create only one single free port, and that at Fiume, partly on account of its abundance of fresh water and the natural facilities of its harbor, partly for the curious reason that it was 'nearer to Naples'.
The population increased rapidly; in 1880 it was 20,981, in 1900 38,855, and in 1910 48,492.
Fiume is totally useless to Italy, the only benefit which she derives from possession of it being the feeling that she is thereby annoying and embarrassing Yugoslavia.

 D'ANNUNZIO E FIUME - 1a GUERRA MONDIALE
La vicenda di Fiume italiana, dal colpo di mano di D'Annunzio del 12 settembre 1919 fino al Natale di sangue dell'anno successivo (quando i legionari dannunziani vennero sloggiati dalle truppe regolari italiane) occupa in genere nei testi di storia poche e frettolose righe.
Ed è vero che la vicenda di Fiume, creatura e al tempo stesso vittima dello straripante protagonismo di D'Annunzio, non contribuì in sé stessa a mutare il corso degli avvenimenti nazionali, procurando semmai qualche guaio in più ed aumentando una confusione che già era ben sopra i livelli di guardia.
Questa imprevista collusione fra nazionalisti e sinistre non fu che il primo degli elementi di confusione causati dalla vicenda di Fiume, che a sua volta visse l'anno di governo dannunziano in una confusione quasi eretta a modello esistenziale.

 Welcome to COUNTERMEDIA — Information Beyond The Mainstream
On September 12 he marched from Rome at the head of a thousand fl shirted legionaries; the Allied troops withdrew and D’Annunzio, who announced his intention of remaining in the city until it was annexed by Italy, assumed control of the port city as the ‘Commandante’.
For them the Commandante’s Fiume became “the symbol of a moral, political and social rejection of the entire established order.” The legionaries called for the freedom of all oppressed people and viewed with interest the Soviet experiment in Russia.
I believe that if we compare Fiume with the Paris uprising of 1968 (also the Italian urban insurrections of the early seventies), as well as with the American countercultural communes and their anarcho-New Left influences, we should notice certain similarities, such as: — the importance of aesthetic theory (cf.

By the terms of the Treaty of London signed by Britain, France and Italy, which treaty was used to induce Italy to join the Allies, the Dalmatian islands in the Adriatic Sea were promised to Italy and Fiume was to be given to Yugoslavia, thus giving it a port city on the Adriatic.
At the Paris Peace Conference in January 1919, Italy began demanding Fiume as well as Dalmatia (virtually flmailing the Allies by suggesting Italy might be forced to join Germany if their wish wasn't granted).
Italy argued that the population of the city was two-thirds Italian and wished to have the city annexed by Italy.

Since then his architectural experimentation has been such a stimulating interest of his, that it could be said to represent one of the most important aspects of his work, at least in terms of pure invention.
Clearly, the fantastic character of Fiume's inventions prevails over the volume/structure distribution preoccupation and this is undoubtedly due to the major influence he received from the metaphysical concepts of De Chirico and Savinio.
Thereafter Fiume worked for quite a few major theatres in the world, including the Covent Garden of London and the Opera House of Rome, and this activity seems to have left its mark on a good section of his architectural production.

During the occupation of Fiume, Italy and Yugoslavia continued to negotiate and the Treaty of Rapallo was signed on November 12, 1920, but d'Annunzio refused to accept the terms of the Treaty and the next day, he occupied two Yugoslav islands (Arbe and Veglia) with his Arditi.

After the Fiume adventure, d'Annunzio took up residence in a villa near Lake Garda in 1920 and four years later was knighted and granted the title of "Principe di Montenevoso".
