Abstract
La rappresentazione cartografica del pensiero geografico sembra essere l’unico
mezzo in grado di rianimare la moritura geografia italiana. Come una fanciulla
povera e graziosa, la geografia necessita di maritarsi con altre discipline,
onde guadagnare adeguata posizione sociale. Ecco, dunque, la geografia medica,
la geografia urbana, la geografia sociale, la geografia politica et similia, tutti
cognomi illustri acquisiti. Sin dall’inizio, fra i nubendi v’è la cartografia che
svolge il ruolo di pronuba.
Cartographic representation seems to be the only instrument able to revive the moribund Italian geography. Like a poor and pretty girl, geography needs to marry with other disciplines in order to gain adequate social position. Here, then, medical geography, urban geography, social geography, political geography and the like, all famous names acquired. From the beginning, cartography plays the role of matchmaker.
