Information about Friuli-Venezia Giulia

Region	Friuli-Venezia Giulia
Country	Italy
Morphology of the land	Plain: 38% Hill: 19% Mountain: 43%
Climate and soil	Thanks to the protection of the Carnic Alps and the proximity of the sea, the climate in the flat part is generally of a maritime type, with temperatures not very high; in the northern part of the region the climate is typically alpine. There is abundant rainfall in the Karst. Where there is no protection of the barrier of the Alps, the icy 'bora' blows, a cold and icy wind, but which brings good weather; manages to reach 100 km / h, with gusts that touch 150 km / h; and even reach the coast of the Marche through the Adriatic. In Trieste we find the bora, on average ten times a year, which also appears as a moderate wind, commonly called 'borin'.
History	The name of this region indicates a composition of two distinct geographical areas, but both derive from the Latin 'gens Iulia' (the family to which Julius Caesar belongs). Friuli originally 'Forum Julii' was the name of a shopping center (forum means market), built by the Romans, in the current city of Civedale. The name of the city then extended to the whole region. Venezia Giulia, on the other hand, is a recent name reminiscent of the Venetians and the 'Gens Iulia'. After the First World War the territory of the current region was part of the Veneto region, together with some areas of the former Yugoslavia. After the Second World War the nine-tenths of Venice Giulia were lost and the Friuli region was reunited with what remained of the same, the current Region was established.
Typical products	The most valuable DOC are Colli Orientali del Friuli, or "COF", north-east of Udine, and Collio goriziano, or simply "Collio", coming from the province of Gorizia. Some of the vineyards of western Primorska are also part of these DOCs: the latter, while politically part of Slovenia, geographically belong to Friuli. Some winemakers own vineyards on both sides of the border. In other parts of Italy, also in Friuli-Venezia Giulia there are coopertative wineries, but this region, unlike Trentino-Alto Adige, is dominated mainly by family-owned farms. The most widespread vine in this region is the Friulian: so because of a diatribe with the Hungarians, the vine has been renamed for centuries known as Friulian.
Typical dishes	The appetizers are unmistakable: the San Daniele ham, sweet and soft DOP product, served in very thin slices cut by hand, with figs or melon, or that of Suaris, smoked with spruce, juniper and flat wild woods, which it can be served sliced or in cubes with cumin seeds. Among the first courses there are the Carnia agnolotti, pasta stuffed with ricotta, boiled spiny, candied citron, raisins and breadcrumbs, the cialzon of Timau, another pasta stuffed with potatoes, spices, raisins, aromatic herbs, seasoned with smoked ricotta or other grated cheese and melted butter. Among the cheeses stand out the montasio, PDO with different levels of maturation, the cheese of the cit spread, the saltarello, the dairy of Fogagna, cow's milk cheese with a sweet taste, which can undergo a maturation ranging from two to eighteen months. Among the desserts there are fruit and jam omelettes and apple, pear, apricot and peach fritters. Very special is the gubana, a sweet dough spread and filled with almonds, walnuts, pine nuts, citron and candied orange, chocolate, all flavored with rum and cinnamon, arranged in a spiral and baked.
