Real
Piave
The Piave is a river of northern Italy cited by Dante in the Paradiso, recalled by Cunizza as the geographical boundary of her native land, between Rialto and the springs of the Brenta.
Description
The Piave appears in the Divina Commedia in the Paradiso, where the blessed soul of Cunizza delimits her native land. The place is presented as part of that portion of Italy lying between Rialto and the springs of the Brenta and the Piave. According to the authorized commentary, this opening that geographically circumscribes the place of Cunizza's life presents a structure similar to that of other stories of blessed souls, founded on a precise topographical reference. The Piave is thus one of the rivers that, together with the Brenta, mark the boundaries of the Venetian region where Cunizza was born, remaining an element of biographical recognition for her native land.
