Rijeka or Fiume? When the city ended up on the border between Italy and Yugoslavia after the First World War, the Italian poet Gabriele D’Annunzio took advantage of the political chaos to try to establish a city state. Through archive material and theatrical re-enactment, Rijeka’s inhabitants recreate the 16-month occupation of their city. Emily Schuster-Woldan
