... is in centre of
Europe
Although small in size, the region, located at the
northeast of Italy, is in the heart of Europe as a natural opening
to the sea for many Central European countries. It plays an
important role in connecting the Mediterranean to Central and
Eastern Europe. Its role is even more strategic as a logistical
platform with the enlargement of the European Union. This strategic
location makes it an international and multicultural region.

standard of living conditions
According to the survey carried out every year by Il Sole24ore
newspaper, in 2009 Trieste together with Udine was among the
first 20 Italian cities on the list of those with the best quality
of life.
… is a territory with a rich cultural
life
Friuli Venezia Giulia has a rich and varied cultural life. There is
a long series of local and international events in music, art,
history and sport. The region has also a vocation for tourism
offering sea, mountains and a central area rich in tourist
destinations where history, art and environment get together in a
rich mosaic.
