1944 Italy (Geogr. Handbk. Ser. B.R. 517, Admiralty, Naval Intelligence Div.) I. v. 415 The maestro (or maestrale), although bearing the same name as the mistral of the Rhône valley, is not to be confused with it. The name is given to NW. winds in the Adriatic, and NW., N., and NE. winds in Liguria and Tuscany. In the west the maestrale is a winter wind (Genoa), but is less cold and dry than the mistral proper. In the Adriatic it is a summer wind.
1967 D. S. Walker Geogr. Italy (ed. 2) iii. 224 The influence of persistent winds (especially the maestrale) is apparent in the tortured shapes of the trees.
