The province of Gorizia (Italian: provincia di Gorizia; Slovene: Goriška pokrajina; Friulian: provincie di Gurize) was a province in the autonomous Friuli-Venezia Giulia region of Italy. Initially disbanded on 30 September 2017, it was reestablished in 2019 as the regional decentralization entity of Gorizia (Italian: ente di decentramento regionale di Gorizia; Slovene: enota deželne decentralizacije Gorica; Friulian: ent di decentrament regjonâl di Gurize), and was reactivated on 1 July 2020.[2]

## Overview

[edit]

Its capital is the city of Gorizia. It belonged to the province of Udine between 1924 and 1927 and the communes of Sonzia, Plezzo, Bergogna, Caporetto, Tolmino, Circhina, Santa Lucia d'Isonzo, Gracova Serravalle, Canale d'Isonzo, Cal di Canale, Idria, Montenero d'Idria, Castel Dobra, Salona d'Isonzo, Gargaro, Chiapovano, Aidussina, Santa Croce di Aidùssina, Cernizza Goriziana, Tarnova della Selva, Sambasso, Merna, Ranziano, Montespino, Opacchiasella, Temenizza, Rifembergo, Comeno, San Daniele del Carso, Zolla, Vipacco, San Martino di Quisca and San Vito di Vipacco, as well as the eastern part of Gorizia, were part of this province between 1918–1924 and 1927–1947. These communes are now part of Slovenia.

It has an area of 466 square kilometres (180 sq mi) and a total population of 142,035 (2012). It has a coastal length of 47.6 kilometres (29.6 mi). There are 25 communes in the province.[3]

Around 11% of the population of the province is ethnically Slovenian.[4] Italian legislation ensures the protection of the Slovene linguistic minority in 9 of the 25 municipalities which comprise the province.[5] Three rural municipalities (Doberdò del Lago, Savogna d'Isonzo and San Floriano del Collio) have an ethnically Slovene majority, but the majority of native Slovene speakers in the province live in the urban area of Gorizia.
