| Riviera Adriatica
/ Friuli Venezia Giulia - Veneto The people of Venice have been making crystal and glass. The industry was moved to the island of Murano in the 13th century. Venice had a virtual monopoly on the production of what is now known as Murano glass. Burano is a pretty fishing village and it’s famous for the lace industry. The lido forms a land barrier between lagoon and the Adriatic Sea. Chioggia lies at the southern end of the lagoon. Padua is home of Italy’s second-oldest university, with arcaded streets and medieval centre. Important sights are the Palazzo del Capitanio, the cathedral, the baptistry, the chiesa degli eremitani. Southwest of Padua, the Colli Euganei are dotted with vineyards and walking trails. The area is famous for its hot springs, the terme. The two main spa centres are Abano Terme and Montegrotto Terme. While the Adriatic coast is made up of little more than lagoons and flat wetlands, the Friulian plains and Giulian plateaus lead up to the pine-covered Alps in the north, bordered by the Veneto to the west, Austria to the north and Slovenia to the east. Trieste’s faded grandeur of its largely homogenous architecture is owed entirely to its days as the great southern port of the Austro-Hungarian Empire during the 18th and 19th century. With commanding views across the city and sea, the Colle di San Giusto is topped by a rambling 15th century castello. Other sights are the Basilica di San Giusto, the boat sprinkled Canal Grande, which marks the northern end of the harbour, the Roman theatre, the Museo Revoltella and the Museo del Mare. A short coastal trip northwest takes you to the Riviera di Barcola. The riviera’s northern end, 7km northwest of Trieste, is crowned with Castello Miramare. The waters are protected by the Riserva Naturale Marina di Miramare and swimming is forbidden. South along the coast, a 5km trip past Trieste’s industrial outskirts and around the Baie de Muggia brings you to Muggia, a fortified fishing village with a 14th century castle. Inland, the leggy strip of land between the coast and the Slovenian border is known as Il Carso (Carso Heights). Flora and Fauna can be observed at close quarters at the Carsiana Giardino Botanico in Sgònico. Gorizia is on the frontier of the Latin and Slavic worlds, with a long history of Germanic Austrian tutelage. Most locals speak Italian and Slovenian, and road signs are in both languages. The twin town of Gorizia-Nova Gorica is the only town in the EU to be split by a manned border. The city hosts a jazz festival each year in March. Gorizia’s main sight is its castle, Borgo Castello, the original nucleus of the town. The Collio hills around Gorizia produce some of Italy’s finest white wines. Grado is a spectacular Adriatic beach resort, spread along a narrow island backed by lagoons. Riserva Naturale Regionale della Valle Cavanata protects a fish-farming area and extraordinary birdlife in the eastern part of the lagoon. The final stretch of the River Isonzo’s jorney into the Adriatic flows through the Riserva Naturale Regionale Foce dell’Isonzo, a nature reserve where visitors can bird-watch of horse-ride, cycle and walk. The Lignano area is a pure beach resort. Lignano Sabbiadoro sits at the northern head of the three adjoining resorts, including also Lignano Pineta and Lignano Riviera. Udine, with a mix of Italian, Slavic and Germanic culture is the region second-largest city. Sights are the Piazza della Libertà, the cathedral and the Modern Art Gallery. Cividale del Friuli is most picturesque where the 15th century Ponte del Diavolo crosses the River Natisone. San Daniele del Friuli is famous for the prosciutto San Daniele, a raw ham. The Carnia region’s attractions are walking, cycling and skiing. Tarvisio is an alpine walking and skiing resort. Other famous ski resorts in Carnia are Piancavallo, Forni di Sopra and Sella Nevea. |

/ Emilia Romagna Rimini’s at the centre of the Riviera del Sole and so the town’s main attractions are the beach and the nightlife. Nevertheless it remains a family destination for many Italians. Near Rimini, in Viserba, is the theme park Italia in Miniatura, a reproduction of famous Italian buildings. In Riccione you can join the waterpark called Aquafan. The Po delta is a stretch of coast where the river spills into the Adriatic Sea is strangely alluring, particularly because the wetlands surrounding its two large lagoons – the Valli di Comacchio in the south and the Valle Bertuzzi in the north – have been designated as nature reserves. Activities are cycling, walking, horse-riding, and boat excursions. Comacchio is a small fishing village that has one attraction – the Trepponti (Triple Bridge) built in 1635. Ravenna is close to Adriatic beaches. The main monuments are the Basilica San Vitale, Mausoleo di Galla Placidia, Basilica di Sant’Apollinare Nuovo, Basilico dello Spirito Santo, Museo Arcivescovile and Battistero Neoniano. |
