The 1989 Referendum polled the public’s opinion about potential separation and saw 15% more support than the [[1979 Separation Referendum|Referendum in 1979]].

==Political Developments Leading up to 1989==
An increased momentum for separation in the decade since in 1979 was a result of [[Terraferma|''Terraferma''’s (the mainland of Venice) feeling of being controlled by the government of Venice <ref>Muscarà, C. (1990). Three models for the future of Venice: A case study of territorial polarization in a growing area of an urban periphery. Ekistics, 57(340/341), 22-34.
</ref>. An economic factor, mainly the industrialization of ''Terraferma'', drove in increase in support for another referendum.

==Results and Outcomes==

The 15% increase did not change the outcome of the separation referendum. However, both the ''Terraferma'' and [[Estuario|''Estuario'']] breakdowns of vote increase were 15%, and therefore a proportional shared interest.Overall, there were 42% of people voting “yes” for a separation and 58% of people voting “no.”
In addition, this referendum started a greater push for governmental authority in Venice in the form of increased movements and more frequent referendums. A study done in 1990, influenced by the outcome of the 1989 referendum, researched and proposed three different models concerning the restructure of the Venice-Mestre Municipality. It also helped movements gain footing which culminated in another [[1994 Separation Referendum|referendum in 1994]].
