This monograph presents a comprehensive analysis of the ideas of Gabriele D'Annunzio, one of history's most intriguing figures. Departing from mainstream interpretations of his life, this exploration is conducted through a Nietzschean perspective. Rather than emphasizing his connections with Mussolini, which often overshadow D'Annunzio's legacy, we focus on the influences of Nietzsche and the Symbolist movement.
Gabriele D'Annunzio, an esteemed Italian writer and poet, was significantly influenced by the philosophy of Friedrich Nietzsche. Nietzsche's ideas on the will to power, the concept of the Ubermensch, and the rejection of traditional morality had a profound impact on D'Annunzio, thereby shaping his literary works and political activities.
