It was more or less informally occupied by Arditi and 
Bersaglieri after Austro Hungary's defeat and amidst the 
general post war general confusion for something like a year 
and a half.

'Liberation' quickly turned to debauchery and dissolution 
for these formerly disciplined special forces. No rules 
whatsoever? Theory aside, the actual examples like Fiume are 
not so wonderful.  Which doesn't mean something else sorta 
Libertarian-ish but less anarchic or feral couldn't work. 
Examples in the real world are yet lacking.

Oh, and those were Futurists at that time. (The term Fascist 
starts later, around 1922).
