Does Venice Want Independence From Italy ?

March 18, 2014 by KRS Leave a Comment

  • Italians in Venice & surrounding areas will vote online to gather momentum to break away from rest of Italy & form a new country. This new Republic of Veneto would be inspired by ancient Venetian Republic – a culturally & economically rich trading power house, which was eventually annexed by Napolean in 1797.
  • The reasons for this decision are:
    • corruption
    • recession
    • unable to plug financial leakages in the poorer southern regions
    • although the region pays $98.5 billion as taxes, it receives only 30% of the amount as investment
    • 60% are in favour of independence
  • The people are closely watching the independence movements in Scotland & Catalonia.

Exams Perspective:

  1. Venice voting for independence from Italy
