Friuli-Venezia Giulia (Friulian: Friûl-Vignesie Julie, Slovenian: Furlanija - Julijska krajina) is one of the twenty regions of Italy, and one of five autonomous regions with special statute. The capital is Trieste. It has an area of 7,856 km² and about 1.2 million inhabitants. A natural opening to the sea for many Central European countries, the region is traversed by the major transport routes between the east and west of southern Europe.
Main articles: History of Friuli and History of Venezia Giulia The name comes from the Latin name of the town of Cividale, ancient capital of the Lombard duchy, which used to be Forum Iulii (Julius' forum, named after Julius Caesar). This artificial region was created after World War II to solve the problem of Trieste, who had lost its natural hinterland, that was the major part of Venezia Giulia and has been included in the then-existing country of Yugoslavia. Therefore it was decided to aggregate the historical region of Friuli to Trieste.
Agriculture gives corn, grapes and sugar beet. Cattle-breeding is important. Industry is based on the shipyards of Trieste and Monfalcone,the steel factories of Pozzuolo del Friuli, the vineyards that produce wine and grappa. Furniture production is concentrated in Manzano and Brugnera.
