Two main and sequential topics are emphasized. The first one is Quaini's attention for the historically and socially determinated building of the Man/Nature relation, which mainly characterizes his first works written against the remaining positivistic and deterministic interpretations of the so called '"Iintegral Ggeography"'. The other topic is the Hish/Low relation, metaphorically representing the dialectic among the social popular practices involved in the territorial exploitment and its representations, usually rooted into oral-tradition cultures, and, on the other side, those linked to the expert knowledges, irreplaceable to appropriately understand the space, always actually influenced by political powers and public institutions.

The Italian travellers to the East during the 16th century left us some important works that they elaborated after their return to their homeland, works whose declared motivation was not only to leave a tangible memory of their life experiences but also to offer the cultured public of Old Europe and people interested in those geographical areas for professional reasons, useful material for a better understanding of the world. These texts, produced in accordance with certain literary canons that were already relatively well defined, are often documents capable of testifying to travel experiences in the era of the great geographical explorations in the Far East after Vasco da Gama's voyage.
