Our great poet Gabriele D'Annunzio, glossomaniac, daredevil,
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gabriele_D'Annunzio
fascist, maybe futurist, inventor of brands like 'il Parrozzo',
'il Senzanome', 'Aurum', and much much more, born 30 miles
from here (ahem), wrote a story about a fascist Übermensch.
As far as I remember, the peculiar character of his Übermenschism
wasn't just the anti-democracy, the force, the power, the war,
and so on, but the beauty and the sexual voluptousness ....
Is there enough room for a neo-decadentist transhumanism?
