D'ANNUNZIO'S ITALY

SIR,—Might I use your correspondence column to make a request for D'Annunziana? i am finishing a book called D' Annunzio's Italy, which deals with Italian bravura during the United Monarchy. I should be most grateful to your readers for any instance of, or anecdote about, this quality, whether connected with D'Annunzio or not, during this period when Italy saw herself again as an imperial power. Most things that D'Annunzio said and did fall into this category.—Yours faithfully,
