Don't worry guys,
this was a totally unofficial ballot, and just something more than a
joke.
While probably in the region some would like to get independent from
Italy, that's for sure that it's not a simple process and is not going
to happen soon. Independendist movements are present in the region since
a long time, but they're still a minorance of total population.
Sorry for your DXCC :)

A new country on the horizon?
"Venice votes to split from Italy as 89% of the city's residents opt to form
a new independent state
Venetians have voted overwhelmingly for their own sovereign state in a
'referendum' on independence from Italy.
Inspired by Scotland's separatist ambitions, 89% of the residents of the
lagoon city and its surrounding area, opted to break away from Italy in an
unofficial ballot.
The proposed 'Repubblica Veneta' would include the five million inhabitants
of the Veneto region and could later expand to include parts of Lombardy,
Trentino and Friuli-Venezia Giulia.
The floating city has only been part of Italy for 150 years. The 1000
year-old democratic Serenissima Repubblica di Venezia, was quashed by
Napoleon and was subsumed into Italy in 1866."
