'We will be richest in Europe': Venice wants independence from Rome
The Republic of Venice is planning for a glorious comeback. Supporters of Venetian independence from Italy are gathering for a rally to demand the region goes it alone, tired of being saddled with Rome's austerity. It's the latest in a number of European regions to consider independence, including Scotland and Catalonia. RT talks to Professor Lodovico Pizzati, who is the chairman of the separatist Indipendenza Veneta party, which has organised the rally.
