context_page_description: Resia is a comune in the Province of Udine, in the Friuli-Venezia Giulia region of northern Italy, bordering on the municipalities of Chiusaforte, Lusevera, Resiutta, and Venzone, and also on two of the Slovenian municipalities. Its residents speak an archaic dialect known as Resian, which is - according to most linguists - a transitional dialect between the Carinthian and Littoral dialects of Slovene language. Although they maintain their own traditional system of family names, which are of Slavic origin, the people of Resia have either Italian or Italianized surnames, similarly to some areas in Venetian Slovenia.
  It is located in the alpine valley of the same name in the Julian Alps, about 90 kilometres northwest of Trieste and about 35 kilometres north of Udine, on the border with Slovenia and around 20 kilometres from the border with Austria. As of 1 January 2015, it had a population of 1,048 and an area of 119.0 square kilometres.
context_section_description: The municipality comprises the Resia Valley, a typical Alpine glacial valley, surrounded by high mountains of the Julian Alps, with a narrow opening towards the west. The valley is located on the western edge of a high mountain range of the Julian Alps. To the east, it is closed by the Kanin mountain group also of the Julian Alps, which separates it from the Soča valley in the Slovenian Littoral. To the west, the valley opens towards the Fella valley, which leads to the upper Friulian plain. This is the most usual way to access this isolated valley.
  To the south-east of the Resia Valley, there is a narrow mountain pass, called Carnizza (Slovene: Karnica), leading from Resia Valley to the upper Torre Valley (Slovene: Terska dolina). The same mountain pass also leads to the Učja Canyon (Uccea), which ends in the Soča valley near the Slovenian village of Žaga. For centuries, this narrow pass was the only way connecting the Resia Valley with Venetian Slovenia and the Slovene Lands.
