Résumé anglais The links between Maurice Le Lannou and Italy were longstanding and continuous. The geographical ideas of this little known pioneer, which focused on the question of spatial differentiation and the notion of 'man as an inhabitant', have again become topical with the rediscovery of regional geography. Maurice Le Lannou adopted an historical-geographic approach : he considered space in its totality, only taking into account the main features and processes which explain the interrelationship between geographical and historical factors and which give a distinctive character to an area. In studying Sardinia and the eastern border area of Italy he sought to demonstrate what had modified the relationships between different groups and their spatial settings and what had influenced the division of geographical space. However, it is questionable whether Italy is well-adapted to such an approach. Similarly, why was Sardinia chosen, for it is the country's most atypical region ?
