The map highlights Umbria, not Veneto. Anyone want to change it? I would, but I don't know how, I'm new to this... Now the map is correct. suck my balls Jayden is the king of veneto

I suggest include a link to the web of the Veneto region public authority.

[edit] Popolo reference is wrong?

This veneto entry says:

Veneto is one of the two Italian Regions whose inhabitants are granted the status of «popolo» (i.e. people) with Constitutional Law by the Italian Parliament, the other Region being Sardinia. However only Sardinia has been added the status of "autonomous".

The Sardinia entry says:

Sardinia is one of two Italian regions whose inhabitants have been recognised as a "popolo" (i.e. a distinct people) by the Italian Parliament. The other region is Friuli-Venezia Giulia.

I know nothing of Italian Constitutional law, but these seem to contradict each other. Maybe the Sardinia reference should be to the other autonomous region of Friuli-Venezia Giulia, and to the popolo region of Venezia?

I've deleted the phrase. In Italy there are five autonomus regions, including Friuli-Venezia Giulia and Sardina. Veneto has not a special status. It's peculiar ethnicity is not recognised.

Not correct. Inhabitans of Veneto are granted the status of "popolo" by Constitutional Law number 340 of May 22nd, 1972. Accordingly to this, I'll restore that statement. --Fertuno 17:31, 18 October 2006 (UTC)
Either way, i think it needs to be re-worded, right now it is quite confusing...Eru illuv 08:04, 3 September 2007 (UTC)

[edit] POV issues

Wikipedia is not a tourist brochure. Plus this is written in pretty bad English. Biruitorul 08:01, 18 December 2006 (UTC)

I second that this article is not 'neutral point of view' I the fact that it does resemble a tourism advertisment. All or most of the photos should be removed, leaving users with a link to another web site.

I disagree. I think that the pictures and descriptions provide a good overview of the cities of the region.

You've got to be kidding in claiming this is not neutral because of the pictures. Just because there are beautiful pictures does not make this a "travel brochure!" The pictures provide valuable VISUAL information about Veneto.

a law recognising Venetian as a regional official language has been approved by the regional Parliament 29/03/2007

"After the Second World War, the Venetian spirit of sacrifice and a family orientation played a major role in an economic recovery that harmoniously blended traditional agriculture, trade, and industry,

"spirit of sacrifice"? "harmoniously blended"? Please someone find a more serious and objective description of how Veneto developed after the war.80.38.96.244 13:31, 6 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Tourism

The article currently states "Veneto's natural, historical, and artistic beauty makes it the most visited region of Italy, with about 60 million tourists every year". How can this be when all of Italy receives about 40 million per year? Mariokempes 19:40, 27 July 2007 (UTC)

Also the top of the article says Veneto receives 13.5 million tourists a year. 70.55.11.244 (talk) 00:07, 11 February 2008 (UTC)

[edit] The Italian Period

The current section lacks sources and contains some politically-motivated content. The absence of sources is self-explanatory and obvious, but the skewed, contentious content is unwelcome (By the way, was the author suggesting WWI started because the Venetian pope died?- I removed this).
