For the majority League "a universalist idea", for the opposition Democratic Party "an ideological choice". The proposal after the ok of the Culture commission goes to the council. A special body will choose between existing or new motifs

A Venetian anthem to be sung in public ceremonies. The bill comes from the region governed by the Northern League Luca Zaia: it has already obtained the go-ahead from the culture commission and will soon be in the regional council chambers. The indication is to choose between «existing motifs» or «new conception». The councilors of the Lega-Liga Veneta voted in favour, the opposition members of the Democratic Party and the Veneto we want against; the majority ally Fratelli d'Italia abstained.

The text was signed by the group leader of the Liga veneta, Giuseppe Pan, together with the president of the Northern League intergroup Alberto Villanova, and other advisers from the Carroccio. Veneto would follow the example of other regions, such as Sicily, Sardinia and Marche, which already have their own anthem recognized at a local and institutional level. Even Lombardy has commissioned Mogol and Lavezzi to write a regional anthem. According to the bill, the regional council would identify the text and music, establishing on which occasions and ceremonies it should be performed, and the methods of execution, in compliance with the state ceremonial for the national anthem of the Republic.

However, it was recommended that for the choice of anthem a special commission is set up. «The idea of ​​providing the Veneto with a hymn», Northern League councilor Marzio Favero said in the commission, «represents a contribution to the affirmation of a universalist idea of ​​society and the State, to be shared and supported, even with a modest Economic support". The Pd councilor Vanessa Camani, who will be co-rapporteur of the minority, who announced amendments by the oppositions, has a completely different opinion, in consideration, she explained: "of the political and ideological value" of the provision and of the "wide margins of discretion" left to the regional council.
