Greve Attractions

Greve (population 11,000) boasts an unusually attractive triangular piazza, the arcaded Piazza Matteoti, around which cluster several cozy trattorie and enoteche and the Antica Macelleria Falomi (No. 69) famous for its wild boar ham and fennel salami. The parish church of Santa Croce has a 15th century triptych by Bicci di Lorenzo and a Madonna by the so-called Master of Greve (13th century). A major festival, the week-long Rassegna del Chianti Classico, is held here in mid September.
