Friuli-Venezia Giulia is an autonomous region of north-eastern Italy, bordering on the Region of Veneto, the republics of Austria [ Carinthia ] and Slovenia and the Adriatic Sea.

The region consists of a flat region, extending from a morainic amphitheater, to the Tagliamento river and to the Adriatic coastline, with its plain and lagoons; of a pre-Alpine part with the Carnic Pre-Alps and of an Alpine Part, which includes the Carnic and Julian Alps. The Carso area shows interesting geological formations called "Doline" and countless grottoes.

National Parks

 Riserve Naturali di Marano  -  Foci dello Stella e Valle Canal Novo
** The natural reservation "Foci dello Stella" [ mouths of river Stella ] includes the river Stella's delta and the nearby lagoon area; it is a very extended and luxurious reed thicket with a dense water network which gradually flows into the lagoon. As a matter of fact, the reed thicket is a very common expression of the reservation's life.
** The natural reservation "Valle Canal Novo" has been built up from an old fishing valley of about 35 hectares, and some adjacent land. The valley presents itself as a lagoon-like area with expanses of water, kept away from the tides by perimetrical embankments. The main aspect is that of the brackish swamp.

 Trieste and the Meaning of Nowhere - Jan Morris
Located on a narrow, mountainous finger of Italy hard by Croatia and Slovenia, the port city of Trieste is little-visited and seldom in the news. As Jan Morris, who first came to Trieste as the English soldier James Morris in 1945, writes, "It offers no unforgettable landmark, no universally familiar melody, no unmistakable cuisine, hardly a single native name that anyone knows." Yet, as historian and travel writer Morris ably demonstrates in this homage to one of her favourite cities (others about which she has written are Hong Kong, Sydney, New York, and Venice ), Trieste has many charms. Its history is foremost among them, thanks to the city's former role as the sole port of the otherwise-landlocked Austro-Hungarian empire, which housed a small fleet there--a fleet which, from time to time, would sail off to make war against the Ottomans or the Italians. At the beginning of the 20th century, Trieste had grown to international importance as an entry point into Central Europe, so much so that it was referred to as "the third entrance of the Suez Canal". Trieste briefly took centre stage at the onset of the Cold War, when Marshall Tito claimed it for Yugoslavia; it narrowly avoided being enveloped by the Iron Curtain. Morris tells all these stories and more, bringing the city's past to life; no one should be surprised if Trieste sees more visitors thanks to her spirited study.

History of Friuli

A natural opening to the sea for many central European countries, the region is traversed by the major transport routes between the east and west of southern Europe.

 History of Italy  -  WikipediA
Italy's history is perhaps the most important one for the cultural and social development of the Mediterranean area as a whole. The country has been host to important human activities in prehistoric times, and therefore archaeological sites of note can be found in many regions: Latium and Tuscany, Umbria and Basilicata. After Magna Graecia, the Etruscan civilisation and especially the Roman Empire that came to dominate this part of the world for many centuries, came the medieval Humanism and the Renaissance that further helped to shape European philosophy and art.

Music, Culture & Entertainment

There is a sizable Slovenian, and a small German minority.
