The furlana (also spelled furlane, forlane, friulana, 
forlana) is an Italian folk dance from the Italian 
region of Friuli Venezia Giulia. In Friulian, furlane 
means Friulian, in this case Friulian Dance. In Friuli 
there has been a Slav minority since the Slavic 
settlement of the Eastern Alps (Maniacco 2002, 56), 
and the furlana may well have originated as a 
Slavonic dance. It dates at least to 1583, when a 
"ballo furlano" called L'arboscello was published in 
Pierre Phalèse the Younger's Chorearum molliorum 
collectanea and in Jakob Paix's organ tablature 
book, though its chief popularity extended from the 
late 1690s to about 1750. It is particularly associated 
with Venice because, at the time of its popularity, 
Friuli was a part of the Republic of Venice
