Northeastern Italy - Italia nordorientale

      Trentino Alto Adige - Between the three regions double (the other two are Emilia Romagna is Friuli Venezia Giulia, the Trentino Alto Adige it is certainly the one with a decidedly much clearer duality not for the morphology of the territory, equally mountainous and rich in beautiful peaks, nor for the economy, similar in both the two set off, but for the culture of the inhabitants: of Italian language and traditions the Trentino, of German language and traditionsSouth Tyrol. History has kept them together practically always, but almost always in the Germanic political and cultural sphere. Nonetheless, Trentino has always maintained its cultural and linguistic Italian character; this cannot be said of Alto Adige, where even the 1960s were marked by secessionist violence by the Germanic-speaking population who could hardly tolerate belonging to Italy. The attribution of the status of Autonomous Region, and also of Autonomous Province a Trento it's at Bolzano, put an end to extreme reactions. Now the region, also with a view to the fall of the borders understood in the old way, resulting from membership of the European Union, enjoys a good social peace. Tourism has erased the situation of generalized poverty that characterized the Alpine countries, bringing development and well-being to even the smallest towns and crushing the enormous migratory flow that had decimated the number of inhabitants in the vast majority of municipalities.

      Veneto - The Venetian cities of the Roman Empire succumbed to the barbarian invasions and became possessions of the Lombards first, then of the Franks. In that period the Lombard duchies, the Frankish committees, and the particular form of state organization of the Marca di Verona. If the decline of the barbarian people was on the one hand a huge social upheaval, on the other it was the cause of the birth of a huge reality: Venice. In fact, Venetian populations took refuge in the lagoon environments who, thus evading the new rulers, were part of the Byzantine Empire until the new city, Venice, freed himself and gave life to the glorious history of the Serenissima. The economic power achieved by the city with its prosperous maritime trade was transformed into military power; its expansion on sea territories (Dalmatia, Cyprus, Greek islands) was accompanied by the conquest of large territories on the Italian mainland. Slowly all the Veneto, as well as the Friuli Venezia Giulia, part of the Lombardy (Brescia, Bergamo, Cream in a stable manner and other territories for shorter or longer periods), a piece of Trentino (Rovereto) became Venetian territory. Veneto and Republic of Venice they are in common thought something inseparable, almost synonymous; however, we must not forget that, before the unification, the territory had developed autonomous state forms that had reached a great level: the Scaligeri lordship in Verona, the Homeland of Friuli in Friuli Venezia Giulia. The achieved unity of the territory and the fact that the Venetian state has not suffered invasions by foreign armies for a long time, accompanied by an enormous economic availability of the upper social classes, has ensured that its cities have preserved the splendid monumental historical centers of which they are equipped. Venice, unrivaled heritage of beauty, but also Verona, Vicenza, Padua, Treviso they are cities of great value. Alongside the major centers, a large number of minor cities of good interest: Asolo, Bassano del Grappa, Belluno, Feltre, Vittorio Veneto, Citadel, Montagnana, Este, Monselice, Chioggia, Adria. The Alps, which crown it to the north, have seen a great summer and winter tourist development; internationally renowned is certainly cortina d'Ampezzo, which takes advantage of its splendid location in the scenery of the DolomitesWorld Heritage

      Friuli Venezia Giulia - With the fall of the Roman Empire, the region was dominated by the Lombards in the area of land with the duchy of Cividale; the lagoon area, on the other hand, remained a Byzantine domain. Subsequently the Franks imposed themselves and with the 11th century the Patriarchate of the bishops of Aquileia which gathered Friuli is Istria. At the same time, the County of Gorizia on the eastern borders with the Slavic world. Until the emergence of economic and military power drags the territory into the dominion of Venice. Thus the foundations are laid for the birth of what will later be called also Triveneto, a geographical concept that unites the three regions: Trentino, Veneto is Friuli. The dual identity underlined by the name wants to remember the diversity that distinguishes the population of the two areas; while having a certain basic homogeneity, the part Friulian (Udine, Pordenone) suffered more the Venetian and Venetian imprint; the part Julian (Trieste, Gorizia) was affected to a greater extent by contact with the Slavic populations, as well as by the longer Austro-Hungarian dominion. Friulian art finds its greatest expressions in Aquileia, where you can admire very important testimonies of Roman times, in addition to the monumental Romanesque-Gothic basilica, which preserves paleochristian floor mosaics of exceptional beauty; to Degree, with its early Christian churches in the Ravenna style; to Cividale del Friuli with Lombard architecture and memories; to Udine with the clear Venetian influence in the architecture of its historic center and in the monumentality of its main square.

      Emilia Romagna - L'Emilia and the Romagna they live together in the same region, a land of mountains rich in vegetation, water and now unfortunately scarce in population, to the south; dense with settlements and cities in the remaining part that goes from the Apennines to the Po that borders it in the north, up to the Adriatic in the east. Fulcrum of life, trade and development has always been the Via Emilia, a Roman artery along which all the major cities of the region were born: Piacenza, Fidenza, Parma, Reggio Emilia, Modena, Bologna, Imola, Faenza, Forlì, Cesena, Rimini. Depart from the spine only Ferrara is Ravenna, which were however the one refined court of the Este family, the other splendid Byzantine imperial city. Land of frank and lively people, enterprising and lover of bel canto and good food, it has developed a good industrial network, linked above all to the transformation of agricultural products of a fertile and fertile plain. The production of cured meats (very famous and valuable those of Parma, but of good quality throughout the region; cheeses, in particular Parmigiano-Reggiano; of excellent wines (particularly in the Piacenza and in Romagna) have made it known all over the world. As well known is his love for music, nurtured over time by his sons, world-famous composers (Giuseppe Verdi) but also singers of equally global prestige (Luciano Pavarotti). Finally, land of important cities of art, in particular all those that were capitals of pre-unification states, but also those that were not (Bologna, Ravenna). Finally, in the regional tourist panorama, the seaside holiday activity on the Adriatic coast enjoys a special place, what is called by many parts entertainment factory of Rimini, Cervia and higher than the Lidos of Comacchio.
