Triveneto

The Triveneto (Italian: [triˈvɛːneto]) or Tre Venezie (Italian: [ˈtre vveˈnɛttsje]; Venetian: Tre Venesie, lit. 'Three Venetias'; German: Venetien), also often referred to as North-Eastern Italy or simply North-East (Italian: Italia nord-orientale or Nord-Est), is a historical region of Italy, traditionally including western areas of present-day Slovenia and Croatia. The area is made up of the three smaller historical regions of Venezia Euganea ("Euganean Venetia"), Venezia Giulia ("Julian Venetia") and Venezia Tridentina ("Tridentine Venetia"). This territory was named after the Roman region of Venetia et Histria.

Nowadays, the name Triveneto is more commonly used in the Northern Italian languages, while its original title Tre Venezie is still in use in the Southern Italian languages, and it is restricted to the three administrative regions of Veneto, Friuli-Venezia Giulia and Trentino-Alto Adige/Südtirol (that is to say, the provinces of Belluno, Bolzano, Gorizia, Padua, Pordenone, Rovigo, Trento, Treviso, Trieste, Udine, Venice, Verona, and Vicenza). This area also corresponds to the Roman Catholic Ecclesiastical Region of Triveneto.
