Mariangelo Foggiato

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Mariangelo Foggiato (Possagno, 19 April 1954) is a Venetist politician.

Having joined Liga Veneta-Lega Nord, he was elected to the Regional Council of Veneto in 1995. He however left that party in 1998, when he founded Liga Veneta Repubblica along with Fabrizio Comencini.[1] He was national president of LVR until 1999 and then abandoned active politics.

In 2004 Foggiato returned to political activity as member of North-East Project, of which he was a founder, along with Giorgio Panto, and secretary until the foundation. He was elected again to the Regional Council in 2005, having trailed the new party to a big result in the Province of Treviso, where it won 15.6% of the vote.[2] As regional deputy, he is actively involved in the plan of transforming Veneto in an autonomous region, and, after the death of Panto, he became the practical leader of the party.
