Mariangelo Foggiato
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. However, he left the party in 1998, when he founded Liga Veneta Repubblica (LVR) along with Fabrizio Comencini.[1] He was national president of LVR until 1999, when he abandoned active politics.
In 2004 Foggiato returned to political activity as member of North-East Project (PNE), of which he was a founder (along with Giorgio Panto) and secretary until its foundation. He was elected again to the Regional Council in 2005. The new party performed well in the Province of Treviso, where it won 15.6% of the vote.[citation needed] As regional deputy, he is actively involved in transforming Veneto into an autonomous region. After Panto's death he became the leader of the party. In 2010 he was re-elected to the Council with the North-East Union, a coalition comprising PNE, LVR and other Venetist parties.[citation needed]
