Description
Surrounded by lush green nature, the area between the Natisone/NediÅ¡ke doline, Torre and Resia valleys is also known by the name BeneÄija/Benecia, an abbreviated form of BeneÅ¡ka Slovenija, translated into Italian as Slavia Veneta, a term that refers to the centuries-old ties these valleys have with the history of the Serenissima Republic of Venice. The destination brand expresses the widespread bilingualism of the entire area involved, thus incorporating the name of the destination in its Slovene (BeneÄija) and Italian (Benecia) variants, and the three valleys comprised within the territory, bearing the names of the rivers that flow through them in a bilingual Slovene-Italian version. Lastly, the colours recall gubana and chestnuts, two local food items.
