Hail, life! from the illuminated sky
from the first rays of the rising sun
to the blue countryside!
Hail, life! mysterious power
wild river, mighty eternal
reason and strength to the whole universe
hello superb one!
You in the silence pregnant with sounds
you in the deep or throbbing plane
whose new germs agitate the breast
you in the distant song of the birds
in the rustling of the nascent plants;
you in the star that rises triumphant
and in silent, disconsolate graves
I feel it vibrate
And I feel you boiling in my blood
while the sun lights up my face
and the cry bursts from my lips:
long live life!

The Isonzo River originates from a karstic spring at 940 meters a.s.l. in Val Trenta (Slovenia). From Izvor Soce, the torrential river flows twisting and sloping between the rocks. It runs west to Plezzo (Bovec), East until Tolmino and south to Gorizia, from where it slides along the plain, and plunges itself into the Adriatic Sea. In the Julian Alps it crosses three basins, which are named after the villages that lie there: Bovec (Plezzo), Kobarid (Caporetto), Tolmin (Tolmino). Downstream of Kanal (Canal of Isonzo), the river separates the Collio from the Bainsizza Plateaux, just north of Gorizia. Here, in a quaint environment that maintains strong natural conditions, its right bank touches the steep face of the Sabotino mountain and skirts it around entering the Italian territory.
In a 50 meters deep ravine lays the countryside of Castel San Mauro, before the town of Gorizia; here the Isonzo banks form a protected area called "Isonzo Reserve". After Gorizia the river gradually enlarges and the water covers extended gravel deposits; it wets Gradisca and Sagrado, delimiting the Karstic Plateaux to the northwest. After 136 kilometres, 41 of which in the province of Gorizia, it flows into the Panzano Gulf with a “W” shaped delta where the Regional Natural Reserve of the Ionzo Delta was constituted. Its tributaries to the right are: Coritenza, Uccea, Torre; to the left are: Idria and Vipacco.
