[...] 89 per cent of the residents of the lagoon city and its surrounding area, opted to break away from Italy in an unofficial ballot. Campaigners say that the Rome government receives around 71 billion euros each year in tax from Venice - some 21 billion euros less than it gets back in investment and services. Organisers said that 2.36 million, 73 per cent, of those eligible to take part voted in the poll, which is not recognised by the Rome government. >>> 21/71 = 29.58%. Admitting the figures are true, then you can reasonably say being part of Italy is a rip-off for Veneto...
