FRIULI VENEZIA GIULIA TRAVEL INFORMATION AND TOURISM SUGGESTIONS

The region of Triveneto or Friuli Venezia Giulia includes Udine, Pordenone, Trieste, Gorizia, Cormons, Carnia, Cividale del Friuli and Aquileia.

Grado is another very interesting place. Take a tour of the the lagoon and step off on one of the many small islands.

The history of this corner of Italy, or perhaps Middle Europe as it should be referred to, is well documented. Perhaps it all began when the  inhabitants of nearby Roman Aquileia fled here as Attila and his Huns approached. Their resistance and tenacity was transferred to Venice with magnificent results.

Cormons and Civadale also offered a refuge. Today, the zone of the Collio and Colli Orientali is best known for its ham and wine production, the 'superwhites'.

Further north is Udine, the mountains of Carnia and the Austrian border. A lot sweeter are the rolling hills near Sacile and Pordenone.
