Massimo Quaini had shown much interest in the ‘egogeography’ genre, practiced by different French geographers.

Some original documents testify the interest in history and philosophy and the acceptance of historical materialism that has shaped his youth work and, more generally, founded his interpretation of geographical reality. 2022-06-01T12:24:55Z 2022-06-01T12:24:55Z 2021 chapter ONIX_20220601_9788855183222_643 2704-579X 9788855183222 https://library.oapen.org/handle/20.500.12657/56458 ita Territori application/pdf Attribution 4.0 International 18196.pdf https://books.fupress.com/doi/capitoli/978-88-5518-322-2_23 Firenze University Press 10.36253/978-88-5518-322-2.23 10.36253/978-88-5518-322-2.23 bf65d21a-78e5-4ba2-983a-dbfa90962870 9788855183222 33 28 Florence open access
