the valley of the Greve, small river of Tuscany, which rises about
20 miles S. of Florence, and flows N., joining the Ema close to
Galluzzo, about 3 miles from the Porta Romana of Florence,
mentioned by Cacciaguida (in the Heaven of Mars) in connexion with
the Buondelmonti, the destruction of whose castle of Montebuono in
the Valdigrieve, in the course of the expansion of the city of
Florence, was the cause of their taking up their residence in the
city itself,
[Par. xvi. 66].
