The Regional Council of Veneto approved a bill modifying Article 7 of Regional Law No. 54/2012, which governs the structure and responsibilities of the regional executive. The amendment allows the Director of the Presidency to be organized into departments and units, as originally intended when the law was passed in 2012. The change aims to clarify the role of the Director of the Presidency in relation to subordinate structures, granting them the authority of area directors. The bill was supported by 24 votes and opposed by 12 abstentions. The modification reflects a structural adjustment within the regional administration.

The Regional Council of Veneto observed a minute of silence during today’s session to honor Francesco Piccolo, who recently passed away.

He began his political career as a municipal councilor in Dolo in 1985 and was elected to the Veneto Regional Council in 1995, serving through three consecutive legislative terms until 2010. During his tenure, he held various roles including chairing the Committee on Productive Activities and serving as a regional minister under Giancarlo Galan. He continued his political work as a substitute member and later led the Lista Tosi group. The Council then approved a proposal to renew the appointment of Loris Tomiato as Director General of ARPAV, the regional environmental protection agency.
