VENEZIA BOCCIA VENTURINI: IN CITTA' IL CENTRO SINISTRA E' AL 51% | 27/05/2026

A3 NEWS Venice 27/05/2026 - VENICE - The city of Venice has once again voted for the center-left and against the municipal councils. The new Municipal President, Giovanni Pelizzato, analyzes the reasons for the victory. Among the candidates, Sara Arco was elected with a record number of votes. In the historic center, Venturini barely reached 35%. || Andrea Martella 51%, Simone Venturini 34%, among the parties, the Green Left Alliance and Marco Gasparinetti's Land and Water 2026 exceeded 7%, and Claudio Vernier's Città Vive nearly reached 5%. Voting in Venice is a parallel reality compared to its hinterland. And this is nothing new. For years, there has been a huge political divide between Venice and the rest of the municipality that bears its name, and for years the mayor of Venice has not been elected in Venice. The new municipal president is center-left, Giovanni Pelizzato, a bookseller and publisher, and former vice president of the City Council: in some areas of the city, his support reached 60%. Among the Venice municipal elections, there was also a case in point: Sara Arco, outgoing Democratic Party councilor with responsibility for youth policies, received nearly 600 votes. A consensus largely worthy of the City Council. Venice's political stances aren't to everyone's liking, but like it or not, they are the prevailing expression of the place on which much of the rest of the municipality relies, both economically through the exploitation of tourism and through the use of a name that continues to bring prestige and ensure international visibility. - Interviewed: GIOVANNI PELIZZATO (PRESIDENT OF THE MUNICIPALITY OF VENICE, MURANO, BURANO) (Report by Filippo Fois) - Follow Antenna Tre on digital terrestrial too!
