The Region
This region is in fact a grouping of two realities: Friuli and Venezia Giulia.
The former has very varied geography, running from the plains to the natural beauties of an Alpine region which is home to many famous resorts in a triangle that covers Austria, Slovenia and Friuli itself. Deep cultural heritage is visible by the large quantity of well distributed museums. The greatest treats remain the aesthetic pleasures of the architectural jewels ranging from gothic venitian to art deco...

Venezia Julia has more Venitian 'flavour', with life distinctly oriented towards the sea. The Roman remains at l'Aquileia are also testimony to what was an important city until the Middle Ages. Trieste, rich in history and culture, even has its own wind (Bora) which rythms not only the highly popular sailing activities, but on occasion also influences daily life.
