Itinerari e tappe di Lamberto Loria nella Nuova Guinea britannica

The journey of Lamberto Loria in Papua New Guinea, and specifically in the
English part of the island – the British New Guinea – remained largely unknown
until today due to the lack of published materials. In fact, if the letters describing
the first stay (1888-1890) survived, very little was known of the second voyage (1891-
1897). Today, thanks to the recent examination, reorganization and transcription of
the diaries and the field notes of the Italian ethnographer, it is possible to reconstruct
almost completely the stages of his journey. The paths he followed in the seven years
he spent in British New Guinea are here reconstructed and meticulously verified on
contemporary maps and charts for the matching of the names of the places.
