Gabriele d'annunzio - Importantes Lettres Signées...

Private, military, and diplomatic archive Fonds of remarkable historical unity and richness. The entirety of these documents comes directly from the personal briefcase of Vice-Admiral Jean Étienne Charles Marcel Ratyé (1863-1946), Grand Officer of the Legion of Honor and Head of the French mission to the Allied Naval Commission in the Adriatic in 1919-1920. This exceptional lot forms a true time capsule. It links high international diplomacy during the Fiume crisis in 1919 to the patrimonial roots of a great line of merchants and wealthy landowners from the Gard region (Nîmes / Saint-Gilles / Aubord), from the Enlightenment era to the 1920s.
