THE “VITTORIALE DEGLI ITALIANI”

The Vittoriale degli Italiani is the last residence of Gabriele D’Annunzio, who started its renovation in 1921, after his enterprise in Fiume. This is not an ordinary villa: it is located in a hillside estate overlooking the lake, an impressive and astonishing location for this majestic monument, which D’Annunzio built to celebrate himself as poet and soldier.

The Vittoriale represents the ideal background to recall the events of the First World War and the bold conquest of the city of Fiume and to feel the mood of the Belle Époque and of the bizarre life led by D’Annunzio in this place.
