	Walter Veltroni: Italy’s man for all seasons \| openDemocracy
		Walter Veltroni's vision of a "new Italy", based on a new "pact between generations", a rejection of the "conservatism" of left and right, and pragmatic, less adversarial politics, has given new hope to its decaying body politic.
		Veltroni also argued for a referendum on a new electoral system and greater efforts to challenge the growing disparity between political leaders and younger Italians.
		As mayor of Rome, Veltroni has already provided a glimpse of his more conciliatory approach to leadership, involving political opponents in the city's cultural initiatives, opening multicultural dialogues between different communities and taking a practical approach to solving problems.

	City Mayors: Walter Veltroni - Mayor of Rome and leader of Italy's centre-left
		Veltroni, a former Marxist firebrand in his youth, is now as comfortable in the company of Vatican figures as leading lights of the Communist Party.
		Veltroni’s leadership of this new slick but de-radicalised progressive party is seen by some as the fruition of his signature ‘all things to all men’ approach.
		Veltroni’s administration however has prided itself on its sound finances and the capital’s resurgence as a leading European hotspot of culture and entertainment, regaining the spirit of La dolce vita after the troubled Tangentopoli era.

	Rome - Film Festival - Report - New York Times
		Veltroni would be a visible fixture through the nine days of the first Rome Film Fest, which began here on Friday.
		Veltroni’s devotion to culture has come at the expense of attention to more pressing issues: grinding traffic and pollution, a sprawling periphery, a continuous influx of illegal immigrants and the upkeep of the city’s monuments, to name but a few.
		Veltroni, who is considered one of Italy’s most popular mayors, has confronted many of the more substantive matters confronting Rome upon taking office in 2001, and he asserts that his glossier side should not obscure his commitment to the city’s problems.

		The brief, from Italy's vice-premier and minister for national heritage, Walter Veltroni, is part of an EU-funded campaign to conclude restoration of the world-famous landmark, and reopen it to the public.
		A properly restored Leaning Tower of Pisa would, for Mr Veltroni, be the icing on the cake of other initiatives, such as the £40 million for security to 1,000 museums and archaeological sites, the summer evening opening to the public of 33 national museums, plus the improved facilities in the Uffizi gallery in Florence.
		Other recent successes include the European Commission's approval of the new Raphael exchange project for the purpose of comparative studies of restoration techniques, the new degree courses in cultural heritage management at the University of Florence, and the attempted elimination of complex laws that have hindered new initiatives.

		Rather than a neo-medieval or neo-renaissance solution the Soprintendente Architect Mario Lowlighetti agrees with Veltroni that a completely new approach to the Uffizi is called for.
