Concittadino del gesuita e sinologo Padre Matteo Ricci, GiuseppeTucci nasce a Macerata il 5 giugno 1894 e muore a San Polo dei Cavalieri, vicino a Tivoli, il 5 aprile 1984.
Tucci concentra i suoi viaggi di ricerca nella vasta regione himalayana, quale naturale crocevia storico fra tutte le diverse culture dell'Asia, raccogliendo sistematicamente materiale archeologico, artistico, letterario, di documentazione storica e altro.
Ma GiuseppeTucci ci ha soprattutto trasmesso la sua appassionata ed intelligente dimostrazione dell'unità culturale dell'Eurasia, e una lucida consapevolezza del fatto che, giunti come siamo ad un capolinea della storia, essa dovrà tradursi anche in un'effettiva unità geopolitica.
