Savogna d'Isonzo (Slovene: Sovodnje ob Soči; Friulian: Savogne di Gurize) is a comune (municipality) in the Regional decentralization entity of Gorizia in the Italian region of Friuli Venezia Giulia, located about 35 kilometres (22 mi) northwest of Trieste and about 3 kilometres (1.9 mi) southwest of Gorizia, on the border with Slovenia. The name of the village comes from the Slovene word sovodnje, which means "confluence". Near Savogna, in fact, the Vipava river flows into the Isonzo at the conjunction of the Karst Plateau and the Vipava Valley.
Ethnic composition
92% of the population was of Slovene ethnicity according to the Italian census of 1971.[5]
