Odoric of Pordenone and other travellers to China aims at shedding light on the question of contacts between North-East Italy and China over the Middle Ages and in the modern and contemporary era, focusing on historical figures who played a key role in cultural exchanges between Europe and East Asia: Marco Polo (Venice 1254-1324), Basilio Brollo (Gemona 1648 - Xi’an, Shanxi, 1704), Celso Costantini (Castions di Zoppola, Udine, 1876 - Rome 1958). Particular attention will be given to
the experience of the Minor friar Odoric of Pordenone (Pordenone, 1260 ca. – Udine 1331), who set out for the East in 1318, spent three years at the Khan’s court in Dadu (modern Beijing), and collected his memories in an important travel account in 1330. In order to promote a fruitful interdisciplinary and cross-cultural dialogue, the initiative will involve the participation of researchers from different fields and traditions, among them a large team of Chinese scholars from the universities of Beijing
and Nankai.
