Venetian Independence (Indipendenza Veneta, IV) is a Venetist, liberal and, to some extent, libertarian political party active in Veneto, eastern Lombardy and Friuli. The party seeks to achieve full political independence for the former territories of the Venetian Republic from Italy through a referendum. IV, which functions also as an advocacy group, counts a handful of municipal councillors and has not been represented yet in the Regional Council of Veneto.
