Friuli orientale

Machine-translated from the Italian article

The Eastern Friuli (or Gorizia area) is a geographic area of Friuli comprising the Isonzo basin and the Vipava valley, that is, much of the territories that were Austrian Friuli, divided between the former province of Gorizia and Slovene Gorizia territory, bounded to the east by Carniola and to the southeast by the Karst and the mouth of the Timavo. Slovene (with the various dialects of Gorizia), Eastern Friulian dialect and Bisiac are spoken there. The County of Gorizia (later County of Gorizia and Gradisca) in 1500, after the fall of the Patriarchate of Aquileia, became part of the Archduchy of Austria (and later of the Austro-Hungarian Empire), while the Territory of Monfalcone, since 1420, became part of the Terraferma Dominion of the Patria del Friuli of the Republic of Venice until the fall of the latter, and then joined the rest of Austrian Friuli until 1918.
