Sažetak
At the end of October 1918, the Italian National Council of Fiume declared this Habsburg-Hungarian city annexed to Italy. Despite not being an Italian territorial victory promise, Fiume’s special semi-autonomous status in the Kingdom of Hungary and its linguistic specificity were used to argue for the city’s undisputed pro-Italian national orientation. Beyond an Italian nationalistic façade, a Habsburg legacy of local identification was not easily nor naturally transformed into Italian annexation stances. Local actors, using Fiume’s administrative specificity, influenced by city’s post-1918 uncertain and disputed international position, started to advocate for alternatives to the Italian Kingdom. A long and intricate post-imperial transition characterized by a failed free state attempt ended only in 1924, when annexation to Italy was finally achieved. By focusing on the disputed meaning and usage of the city’s flag, as well as related symbols, my aim is to show some aspects of the process of identification in late Habsburg and post-Habsburg Fiume. Drawing on sources such as police files, local newspapers, city’s archival documents, I mean to discuss the adaptation and contention by various political, national, and social actors of the municipal flag. While discussing a visual symbol of an urban micro-case, my aim is to argue how theoretical approach for the study of nationalism can be used to analyze a specific local type of identification. Such a case questions the teleological interpretation of some nationalisms as modern, triumphant, and expected outcomes in the post-imperial world.
