Constitution

The Charter of Italian Carnaro (: Carta del Carnaro ) was a constitution which combined elements anarchistic, supporters of corporatism, Socialists, Bolsheviks and democratic. D' Annunzio is often regarded wrongly as a precursor of the ideas and practices of Italian Fascism (see on this subject work of the American historian Michael A. Ledeen on Annunzio). Its personal political ideas took form with Fiume, in particular under the influence of futuristic like Mario Carli, but also of Bolsheviks like the Belgian Leon Kochnitzky or American Henry Furts, as well as the fundamental influence of the aviator-poet Guido Keller and the anarchist-trade unionist Alceste De Ambris, with whom it wrote the Charter. De Ambris brought the legal and political contents, while D' Annunzio utilized its talents of poet and its desire to return to the modern shape of republic halfway between the civitas of the Romans and the freedom of the communes and medieval free cities. The constitution established a democratic State and supporter of corporatism, with nine corporations which were to represent the various sectors of the economy. Tenth corporation, such an indicated under the name of Energia, it tenth MUSE introduced by Annunzio, was supposed to gather the “artists”, sharp force of the creative flame.

The legislative power was bicameral: there were a council of Best ( Consiglio degli Ottimi ) and a council of the Corporations ( Consiglio deu Provvisori ). Common sessions ( Arengo dei Carnaro ) were to slice on the questions of international law, the modifications of the constitution, and the nomination of a dictator in emergency. In the Charter, the “music” was indicated like the principle founder of the State.
