Slavia Friulana

Slavia Friulana, which means Friulian Slavia, also known as Venetian Slavia (Slovene: Beneška Slovenija), is a small mountainous region in northeastern Italy and western Slovenia. It is so called because of its Slavic population which settled here in the 6th century AD. The Italian territory is located in the Italian region of Friuli-Venezia Giulia, between the town of Cividale del Friuli and the Slovenian border. The Slovenian territory encompasses ten villages in the area of the Breginj Combe.
