In 1979, the first referendum was called in the city of Venice in order to gauge public support on a potential split between Terraferma and Estuario into two separate cities.
Political Movements leading up to 1979 Referendum
Though many Venetians called for a split of Venice because of economic differences, major political parties were generally against the division of Venice into two cities. Government officials held the belief that a broader government holds wider ranging decision making powers, so they would be better at making laws that would compromise the differences between Terraferma and Estuario[1].
Results and Outcomes
The 1979 referendum results showed that a large majority of Venetians did not want to separate. Approximately 27.6% of Venetians supported a separation compared to 72.4% of those who wanted Venice to stay together[2]. However, the movements to separate were still present after this referendum, as another referendum was called for in 1989.
