Cividale del Friuli.
The poll asked for photos of Italy so here we go! Photo no.1 is of Cividale, a small town in north eastern Italy, and where my best friend grew up. It’s quaint, walkable, and has quite a few lovely corners to relax and enjoy the atmosphere.
The region of Friuli has its own culture outside of its obvious Italian links. Beyond its own dialect of Friulano, the food and drink culture stands out in its own right. San Daniele ham is *outstanding* and the local wines made from local grapes are out of this world.
It’s a short drive from the Dolomites, Croatia & Slovenia, as well as the Adriatic coast. Visiting Venice? Rent a car or take a train to explore my the welcoming region of Friuli-Venezia Giulia. You won’t be disappointed.
