Located within the north-eastern borders of Italy is the undiscovered region of Friuli-Venezia Giulia. Bounded by Austria, Slovenia, the Veneto and the Adriatic, its long-standing domination by Austria has resulted in a remarkable fusion of architectural styles and culture to savour and explore. Nowhere is the legacy of the Hapsburg Empire more apparent than in Trieste and its envirions, Under the Austrians, its grrat Adriatic port and adjoining coastline rose in importance and the city became a progressive and posperous international melting pot until the 20th Centyry, when it was riven by borders and often contested. The city was returned to Italy in 1954, but its history has gifted us an eclectic blend of ethnic, linguistic and cultural varieties, Based in the border city of Trieste, our tour will highliight the charming cities and Roman settlements of this lesser known region of Italy.
