The 2020 Quality of Life ranking leaves little room for doubt – living in the centre of a small Friuli Venezia Giulia town gives added value from many different points of view.
This analysis, produced by Italy Oggi and The Sapienza University of Rome, crowns Pordenone as the best province to live in Italy, followed by Trento.
Pordenone is located in the western area of Friuli Venezia Giulia. It is situated between the Carnic Alps and the wide valley that is bounded by the Tagliamento and Livenza rivers.
Must visit areas include the Regional Park of the Friulian Dolomites, renowned for its beauty; the Parco Naturalistico di San Floriano, characteristic for its perfect union of natural landscape, cultivated areas and grazing land; and the Noncello River Park.
Besides naturalistic beauty, Pordenone is most know to Triestini as the town which hosts the famous Pordenone Book Fest every year at the beginning of September, with authors from around the globe.
