History
Independent Venetians
Independent Venetians (Italian: Veneti Indipendenti) emerged in February 2014 as a split from Venetian Independence (IV), the most established separatist party in Veneto at the time. After an internal struggle and a congress, during which his role of president was cancelled from the party's constitution, Luca Azzano Cantarutti had left the party in January, after a power struggle with Alessio Morosin. The Independent Venetians' party was instrumental in the foundation of "United for Independent Veneto", along with other parties.
United for Independent Veneto
United for Independent Veneto (Uniti per il Veneto Indipendente) was a coalition of parties launched in Venice on 5 March 2014. Its founding members were:
Independent Venetians, led by Luca Azzano Cantarutti;
Veneto State, led by Antonio Guadagnini;
Liga Veneta Repubblica, led by Fabrizio Comencini;
Popular Future, led by Stefano Valdegamberi.
We Independent Veneto
In July 2014 the coalition gave birth to We Independent Veneto (Noi Veneto Indipendente), as a joint list for the 2015 regional election:
Independent Venetians, led by Luca Azzano Cantarutti;
Veneto State, led by Antonio Guadagnini;
Liga Veneta Repubblica, led by Fabrizio Comencini;
Chiavegato for Independence, led by Lucio Chiavegato;
North-East Project, led by Mariangelo Foggiato;
Tea Party Veneto, led by Carlo Sandrin and Michele Varini;
Pro Veneto, led by Roberto Agirmo.
2015 regional election
After the exit of Chiavegato and his group from the alliance and their alignment with Alessio Morosin's Venetian Independence, the remaining six parties of NVI formed a joint list for the 2015 regional election named Independence We Veneto with Zaia, a sort of re-edition of 2010's North-East Union, but with a separatist platform and in support of Luca Zaia, incumbent President of Veneto and candidate of Liga Veneta–Lega Nord.
In the election, the list won 2.7% of the vote (0.2pp more than Venetian Independence) and Antonio Guadagnini of Veneto State was elected regional councillor in the provincial constituency of Vicenza.

Why this record matters
A short description can identify a subject without explaining its stakes. For “Independence We Veneto”, the useful work is to connect “political party in Veneto” to the records capable of establishing context and consequence.
The citation trail is more important than the brevity of the summary: it shows where individual claims can be examined in context. The source revision retrieved here is dated Aug 18, 2025.

The absence of detail may reflect summary conventions rather than a lack of surviving documentation. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
