Introducing Friuli Venezia Giulia

On the northeastern fringes of the Italian peninsula, Friuli Venezia Giulia is an assembly of starkly diverse landscapes, from its snow-covered Alpine peaks to the marshlands of the North Adriatic Sea. Once home to one of the largest cities of the Ancient World – Aquileia – the region is renowned for its artistic heritage dating from late Roman period and the early Middle Ages. Friuli’s modern cities offer the photographer some of Italy’s most beautiful and graceful urban scenes, especially in Udine and Pordenone, which ooze classic Italian charm. But this region is also where Italy meets Eastern Europe, and nowhere is this blend more fascinating than in Trieste, which often resembles more Vienna or Budapest than Rome or Florence. Gorizia, which shares a border with Slovenia, is another elegant city with an unmistakably Eastern European urban fabric.
