Birra Moretti
Birra Moretti () was an Italian brewing company, founded in Udine in 1859 by Luigi Moretti. In 1996 the company was acquired by Heineken N.V. The brewing plant in Udine was sold to the newly formed Birra Castello S.p.A.; Moretti is now a brand of Heineken. History Birra Moretti was founded in 1859 by Luigi Moretti in Udine, which at that time was still part of the Austrian Empire, as the Beer and Ice Factory. The first bottles went on sale in 1860. The company was initially expected to produce 250,000 litres of beer a year, enough to meet the provincial demand. The Moretti family owned the brewery and business until 1989, when it was sold to a consortium of other brewers. In 1996 it was bought by the Dutch firm Heineken. The company also now owns the Birra Moretti trademark. The original factory in Udine closed in 1992, after brewing was transferred to San Giorgio di Nogaro, also in Friuli. Following the finding by the Italian Antitrust Authority that Heineken occupied a ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

The Slovene name ''Videm'' (with final -''m'') is a hypercorrection of the local Slovene name ''Vidan'' (with final -''n''), based on settlements named ''Videm'' in Slovenia. The Slovene linguist Pavle Merkù characterized the Slovene form ''Videm'' as an "idiotic 19th-century hypercorrection." History Udine is the historical capital of Friuli.

Friulian Language
Friulian ( ) or Friulan (natively or ; it, friulano; de-AT, Furlanisch; sl, furlanščina) is a Romance language belonging to the Rhaeto-Romance family, spoken in the Friuli region of northeastern Italy. Friulian has around 600,000 speakers, the vast majority of whom also speak Italian.

Documents in Friulian are attested from the 11th century and poetry and literature date as far back as 1300. By the 20th century, there was a revival of interest in the language. History A question that causes many debates is the influence of the Latin spoken in Aquileia and surrounding areas. Some claim that it had peculiar features that later passed into Friulian. Epigraphs and inscriptions from that period show some variants if compared to the standard Latin language, but m ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Trattoria
A ''trattoria'' (plural: ''trattorie'') is an Italian-style eating establishment that is generally much less formal than a '' ristorante'', but more formal than an ''osteria''. A ''trattoria'' rooted in tradition may typically provide no printed menu, casual service, wine sold by the decanter rather than the bottle, and low prices, with an emphasis on a steady clientele rather than on ''haute cuisine''. Food tends to be modest but plentiful, mostly following regional and local recipes, sometimes even served family-style, at common tables. This homely tradition has waned in recent decades. Many ''trattorie'' have taken on some of the trappings of a ''ristorante'', providing relatively few concessions to the old rustic and familial style. The name ''trattoria'' has also been adopted by some high-level restaurants. Optionally, ''trattoria'' food could be bought in containers to be taken home. Etymologically, the word is cognate with the French term ''traiteur'' (a caterer pro ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
