The Italian poet, Gabriele d’Annunzio, fleeing his creditors to whom he owed one million gold francs, took refuge in March 1910 in Paris, and from July 1910 at the Moulleau, which he did not leave until April 1915. He wrote the libretto of the Martyr of Saint Sebastian,of which Claude Debussy composed the music. At Moulleau, the poet will live successively in the villas of Saint-Dominique (pictured) and Caritas. D’Annunzio did not like only women, multiplying adventures; he also had a passion for dogs, sighthounds.
