Hutchinson`s History of the Nations 1915 -General Gabriele D`Annunzio, Prince of Montenevoso OMS CMG MVM, sometimes spelled d`Annunzio, was an Italian poet, playwright, orator and journalist and soldier during World War I. He occupied a prominent place in Italian literature from 1889 to 1910 and later political life from 1914 to 1924. D`Annunzio had already become famous when his best-known novel, Il trionfo della morte 1894; The Triumph of Death, appeared. It and his next major novel, Le vergini delle rocce 1896; The Maidens of the Rocks, featured viciously self-seeking and wholly amoral Nietzschean heroes. The ABCs of Poetry: Fact or Fiction?
