3. Geography
This region is situated in Italy's north east and borders Slovenia and Austria.
Friuli Venezia Giulia overlooks the Adriatic Sea and is surrounded by high mountains, enclosing many different landscapes.
It has an area of 7,858 km² and
about 1.2 million inhabitants.
4. The provinces of the region are: Trieste (regional capital), Gorizia, Pordenon
e, Udine.
5. From its boundary with Veneto up to Monfalcone, the coast is trimmed with lagoons and has long sandy beaches.
The coast is rocky, rather, from Monfalcone to Trieste .
7. The Roman origin is visible over all the territory
Cividale del Friuli became the capital of the first Lombard Dukedom in Italy; the Franks, arriving two centuries later, favoured the
growth of the church of Aquileia.
The patriarchate of Aquileia, created in 1077, is the largest diocese of the late-medieval Christian West
8. It was the land of Friuli that became Venetian territory in 1420, while Trieste and Gorizia remained under the
Austrian Empire.
The enlightened policy of the Austrian-Hungarian Empire in the 18th and 19th centuries encouraged economic
flourishing, making Trieste the port of the Empire.

The impressive Carso plateau is formed by windswept rocks, and soil
erosion has created a series of caves, hollows and resurgences
over time.
11. "Imagine a vast limestone plateau, varying in height from
700 to 2,500 feet, which is as treeless and waterless as
the deserts of Chihuahua, as desolate and forbidding as
the Dakota Bad Lands, with a surface as torn and
twisted and jagged as the lava beds of Utah, and with a
summer climate like that of Death Valley in July. That
is the Carso."
