Northeast Italy

Italy

Northeast Italy spans 46 connections with 8587 other places across 10 topics, led by language, history, and nature. The region's linguistic depth is unusual: Venetic, an extinct Indo-European language spoken in ancient times across what is now Veneto and Friuli, ties it to distant places through shared linguistic history. Hemingway's A Farewell to Arms (1929), set here during World War I, is credited with bringing the word "ciao" into English. Veneto also produces the Corvina grape and shares the Adriatic coast with Friuli-Venezia Giulia.
