    About this ebook

    When she perceived a group of men leaning against the parapet and looking down into the street below, Hippolyte stopped and exclaimed: "What has happened?"

    With a slight gesture, betraying fear, she placed her hand involuntarily on George's arm as if to restrain him.

    After watching the men a moment George said: "Someone must have leaped from off the terrace." Then he added: "Shall we turn back?"

    She hesitated a few moments, wavering between curiosity and fear, and then replied: "No. Let's see what it is."

    They advanced along the parapet as far as the end of the walk.

    Unconsciously, Hippolyte accelerated her pace towards the small crowd that had gathered.

    On this March afternoon the Pincio was almost deserted. Occasional sounds died away in the gray and heavy atmosphere.

    "That's what it is," said George. "Someone has killed himself."

    Gabriele D'Annunzio

    Gabriele D’Annunzio (1863-1938) was an Italian poet, playwright, soldier, and political figure. Born in Pescara, Abruzzo, D’Annunzio was the son of the mayor, a wealthy landowner. He published his first book of poems at sixteen, launching his career as a leading Italian artist of his time. In 1891, he published his first novel, A Child of Pleasure, followed by Giovanni Episcopo (1891) and L’innocente (1892), which earned him a reputation among leading European critics as a member of the Italian avant-garde. By the end of the nineteenth century, he turned his efforts to writing for the stage with such tragedies as La Gioconda (1899) and Francesca da Rimini (1902). Radicalized during the First World War, D’Annunzio used his experience as a decorated fighter pilot to spread his increasingly nationalist ideology. In 1919, he spearheaded the takeover of the city of Fiume, which had been ceded at the Paris Peace Conference. As the leader of the Italian Regency of Carnaro, he sought to establish an independent authoritarian state and to support other separatist movements around the globe, but was forced to surrender to Italy in December 1920. Despite his failure, D’Annunzio inspired Mussolini’s National Fascist Party, which built on the violent tactics and corporatist system advocated by the poet and his allies. Toward the end of his life, D’Annunzio was named Prince of Montenevoso by King Victor Emmanuel III and served as the president of the Royal Academy of Italy.
