The new Italo-Yugoslav Quarter at Fiume/Rijeka. A location with a spectacularly varied past, under the control of many differing powers over the centuries. This photograph dates from the period of the 'The Free State of Fiume', also known as the Free State of Rijeka - an independent free state which existed between 1920 and 1924 - (in Italian Fiume) and rural areas to its north with a corridor connecting it to the rest of Italy
