“I believe the citizens have recognized the great work done by the outgoing administration, of which I was a part for 11 years. They recognized the work done on the budget, the rigor of the municipal system, and the many investments made. Think of the Bosco dello Sport, the Palazzetto that replaced the Roma camp, the Marghera square, the large station we just announced with President Stefani.” These are Simone Venturini’s first words as mayor.

When asked what project he’s particularly passionate about, which he’ll be able to implement now that he’ll be sitting in the Mayor’s office, he explains that there are many. “This city,” he said, “requires different solutions depending on the neighborhood or sestiere. More generally, the common thread that must unite the entire program is the idea of ​​a city that grows and attracts higher-value jobs, new productive functions, and a new ability to boost the purchasing power of Venetian families.” The mayor then emphasized the city’s desire to also develop “through the creation of an international board that will help us attract the best investments in many sectors, he concluded, and replicating the Ospedale al Mare project, obviously even in a smaller version, in many parts of the city is certainly important.”
