Italian term or phrase: i primi rappresentanti di una categoria di giramondo
Contesto:

È a questo punto che entrano in scena i fratelli Shirley, personaggi simpatici e decisamente anticonformisti, accomunati dal desiderio di avventura. Anche loro erano semplici viaggiatori, non esploratori, ma meritano di essere ricordati tra i più attivi mediatori culturali del loro tempo e tra i primi rappresentanti di una categoria di giramondo che in seguito fu capace di dare un contributo molto importante alla storia della conoscenza del mondo.

Grazie,
