Veneto
Veneto is located in the northeastern part of Italy, bordering on the Italian regions of Emilia-Romagna and Lombardy.
From the rocky foothills of the Dolomites to the fertile valleys of the Po River, Veneto has a diverse geography that makes it a fascinating area to discover.
The mountains of Veneto have a rare beauty. The majestic Dolomites, seen from Cortina 'Ampezzo, the famous holiday resort in the province of Belluno, are a fabulous spectacle. Here you will find medieval castles and modern skiing resorts, foothills dotted with charming towns and lined with picturesque world-class vineyards. And the whole area of the river Po delta, in the province of Rovigo, is a unique environment of exceptional natural interest.
Veneto is bordered to the south by the Adriatic, with its beaches and ports, and provides a contrast with the area's gently rolling countryside, the vast stretch of Lake Garda (Lago di Garda) on the west, flanked by lemon and olive groves, and the many attractive resorts and ancient towns throughout the region.
Veneto is also home to Venice (Venezia), the city of lagoons. It is a city we have all traveled to, if only in our imagination! Venice is truly an eclectic combination of pleasures. Celebrated the world over for its splendid and varied architecture, home of elegant shops and cafes, and the famous Carnevale, Venice is one of the few cities in the world that can be described as unique!
