Friuli-Venezia Giulia

    A region of north-east Italy, bordering with Austria to the north and ex-Yugoslavia to the east and south-east, to the south it lies on the Adriatic and borders with Venetia to the west and south-west. From a morphological point of view, Friuli-Venezia Giulia can be divided into two parts: a mountainous area to the north (Carnia) and a plain to the south. Worthy of mention is the Parco Marino di Miramare, near the famous castle of the same name, stretching for approximately thirty hectares in an area particularly suited to marine plants and animal life.
