The "Commander Rizzo" mentioned is LUIGI RIZZO (1887-1951), the heroic torpedo boat commander who sank the Austrian battleship "Viribus Unitis" in 1918 and who was one of the pillars of the Fiume garrison.
The Fiume Enterprise (September 1919 – December 1920) was one of the most romantic and controversial episodes in Italian history: d'Annunzio marched on Fiume with about two thousand legionaries and established the so-called " Italian Regency of Carnaro" there.
