The diary of his journey to the East (1318-1330), written on his return by Fra Guglielmo di Solagna, is one of the most surprising that medieval odeporetic literature has left us. The story was intended for Pope John XXII who then resided in Avignon, whose curia was particularly interested in establishing relations with the East.
