Chiavari
Chiaveri (today Chiavari) is a Ligurian town recalled by Dante as a geographical reference point in the Purgatorio, indicating the valley down which a river descends.
Description
In the verse of the Purgatorio, Dante places Chiaveri as a geographical term within which a valley traversed by a river lowers itself. The toponym, indicated in the text as «Chiaveri», designates today's Chiavari, situated on the eastern Ligurian coast. The mention serves to specify the stretch of territory in which the watercourse descends toward the sea, between Sestri and Chiavari, functioning as a purely topographical reference within the poet's discourse.
