This article seeks to present a brief balance on the appearance of Environmental History and its trajectory in Italy, evidencing the main researchers and their works. Although incipient, the historical environmental bias developed in the peninsula through a peculiar dialogue between the geography of the landscapes, the Agricultural History and the Economic History - fields of Italian prominence. The relevance of socio-environmental criticism through history is justified, because the future is, in parts, dramatically in our hands, and the History points to the possibility that past experiences may help in the elaboration of future solutions.
