the March of Treviso, former province of Italy, comprising the
greater part of the modern Venetia.
The March of Treviso, together with Lombardy
and Romagna, is referred to by Marco Lombardo (in Circle III of
Purgatory) as il paese ch'Adice e Po riga,
[Purg. xvi. 115]; Cunizza (in the Heaven of Venus) refers to the
March itself (in a more confined sense) as quella parte de la
terra prava / italica che siede tra Rialto / e le fontane di
Brenta e di Piava (i.e. the country which lies between the
Piave on the N., the Brenta on the S., and Venice on the E.),
[Par. ix. 25-27], she refers to the peoples of the March (i.e.
the inhabitants of Vicenza, Padua, Treviso, Feltro, and Belluno),
as la turba presente / che Tagliamento e Adice richiude,
[Par. ix. 43-44].
