Trieste, with its Miramare Castle, should be visited, just like Udine, where some of the best works of art of the great Italian painter of the 700s, Tiepolo, are kept.

Agriculture in Friuli Venezia Giulia.

It is quite easy to imagine that agriculture is better developed in the southern areas of the region since in the northern part, being predominantly mountainous, pasture and forests prevail.
There are chiefly tobacco and sugar beet crops, although there are also those for mulberries and food for silkworms, used to make precious silks. Fruit and cereal crops are also important, in addition to grapes used to produce important wines of the Friuli region. The hills on the eastern side of Friuli, called Colli Orientali, are the perfect location for important vineyards of excellent wines such as the Aquileia doc, Müller Thurgau, Pinot and the Traminer.
