Stehe hier an der SP51, Via Rosignanina, und blicke in die Kulturlandschaft der Colline Pisane.
Die hügelige Landschaft der "Colline Pisane" ist eine geografische und historische Region in der Provinz Pisa und ersteckt sich, wenn ich das richtig verstanden habe, zwischen Pisa und Pontedera im Norden, Livorno im Westen und Cecina sowie Volterra (als südliche Begrenzung).
Im Bild auch der Hügel auf dem die kleine Stupa Kadampa steht - Der Brotzeitplatz, man erinnert sich.

I actually have questions around some specific Italian geographic terms for natural water. Maps describe natural water as follows.
Below is what I often read and what I associate
Botro - A creek/ditch with occasional water (after rainfall)
Botrello - the same but smaller
Torrente - A very small river continously delivering water - in mountains ?
Rio - small river bigger than torrente
Fiume - Bigger "Rio"
Botro: steep valley subject to erosion with occasional water. It is used in Tuscany, but rarely outside of Tuscany.
Botrello: I've never heard it.
Torrente: it is a watercourse characterized by an extremely variable regime. Often the distinction between fiume and torrente is not based on objective data, but on historical or cultural factors. However, a torrente is longer than a rio.
Rio: it is a small stream
Fiume: it is a permanent watercourse, with more or less constant flows. It is the longest, even if there is some torrent that is longer than some river.
