This new title continues Bradt's coverage of lesser-known but
increasingly popular Italian regions and is the only guide
available to Friuli Venezia Giulia, a region that forms the major
part of the hinterland of Venice (but does not - despite the name -
include Venice itself), and which is a convenient and fascinating
place to spend time on the beach, in the Alps or relaxing in the
country. It is notable also for its wines and distinctive cuisine,
which, with touches of neighbouring Austria and Slovenia stirred
in, are starting to attract attention around the world. Written by
long-time travel authors and Italy specialists Dana Facaros and
Michael Pauls, background and practical information are
complemented by ten easy-to-follow chapters, covering Trieste, its
coast and the Carso, the Friuli coast, Gorizia and the Collio,
Udine, Pordenone and Western Friuli, and the mountains: the
Friulian Dolomites, Carnia and the Julian Alps. Set in Italy's
northeastern corner, Friuli Venezia Giulia is one of the most
ethnically and culturally diverse parts of the country - and also
one of the least known. With Bradt's Friuli Venezia Giulia, explore
this small but varied region in detail, from the Alps of the north
to the coastal resorts, unspoiled wetlands and lagoons, and from
medieval towns like Cividale del Friuli to the strange desert
steppe called the Magredi and the lovely wine region of Il Collio.
Discover the regional capital, caffeine-mad Trieste, where there
are 67 different ways of ordering a cup of coffee, and Gorizia, one
of the biggest battle fronts of World War I, which survives almost
intact, with miles of trenches and fortifications open for
exploration. Bradt's Friuli Venezia Giulia offers everything you
need for a successful trip.
