CREA IL TUO VIAGGIO TROVA AGENZIAVeneto and Friuli – Two regions, four intertwined cultures
This tour covers the most northeastern area of Italy where four different worlds and cultures have blended together: the Jewish, the Italian Mediterranean, the Mittel European and the Slavic.
VERONA, the city of Romeo and Juliet and much more, PADUA “the erudite” with one of the oldest universities in the world has been active since 1288, the uniquely magical VENICE, with its lagoon and archipelago, TRIESTE the Italian harbour on the Mediterranean of the Hapsburgic empire with its unique charm blending different cultures and where you can still hear many languages spoken; GORIZIA, a lovely town with a Jewish heritage (it used to be called “The Jerusalem on the Isonzo” (the local river) right at the border with Slovenia; CIVIDALE DEL FRIULI a picturesque town included in the Unesco heritage list where the Jewish presence long gone can be still seen on its houses and at the local museum; UDINE, lovely and elegant old town with its Venetian flair and lively downtown area where its classic artistic heritage meets modern flair; AQUILEIA, another Unesco site, with its origins dating back to the Roman era; in fact we will be visiting the world famous Roman ruins and the museum where Jewish artefacts are on display.
