Introduction
Friuli-Venzia Giulia lies at the most north-eastern part of Italy, forming the border with Austria and Slovenia to the east, with the Veneto region to the west, taking in the Carnic Hills in the north, and the bustling Adriatic port of Trieste to the south. Noteworthy are also the busy town of Udine and the Roman town of Aquileia.
