EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the vibrant and intriguing scene of the Italo-Yugoslav Quarter in Fiume, Croatia, during the brief but significant period of the Free State of Fiume, which existed between 1920 and 1924. Fiume, also known as Rijeka, is a location steeped in history, having been under the control of various powers throughout the centuries. The image showcases the stunning harbor area, with its bustling docks and modern Italian-style buildings. The bridge in the foreground connects the quarter to the rural areas to the north, providing a crucial link to the rest of Italy. The harbor's wharf extends into the shimmering Adriatic Sea, adding to the sense of connection and trade that characterized this unique period. The Free State of Fiume was an independent free state established after the First World War, following the collapse of the Austro-Hungarian Empire. The city was a point of contention between Italy and Yugoslavia, with both countries laying claim to it due to historical, cultural, and strategic reasons. The Free State was ultimately dissolved in 1924, when it was annexed by Italy. This photograph offers a glimpse into a fascinating moment in history, showcasing the diverse architectural styles and cultural influences that came together during the Free State period. The image is a testament to the rich and complex history of Fiume/Rijeka and its role as a crossroads of trade, culture, and power in Europe.
