Confederazione Veneziana aims to concentrate its efforts on institutions and institutional faults with the goal of identifying and correcting whatever systemic problems have allowed lack of integrity to become so widespread in the Venices*.

Our objective is to re-introduce a culture of ethics and integrity within public institutions and society in North-East* Italy, and our emphasis will be on prevention and on reforming systems, not on exposing individual cases.

Our efforts will be channelled along two distinct but overlapping directions:
 • lack of ethics and integrity in public institutions, and
 • lack of ethics and integrity in society.

This is based on the realization that a culture of ethics and integrity within public institutions can survive and thrive only if the society within which these institutions operate is upholding such a culture.
And vice versa, if a culture of ethics and integrity is firmly embedded in society then the drive for honest and accountable public institutions will be much easier, and the culture of integrity within these institutions will develop stronger and deeper roots.

(*) For the purpose of CV's work, the words "Venices", "Venetia" and "Northeast Italy" are interchangeable, and are taken as meaning the historical Venices within Northern Italy - i.e. the current italian regions of Venezia Tridentina-Sud Tirol/Alto Adige, Venezia Euganea, Friuli-Venezia Giulia, the current provinces of Bergamo, Brescia, Cremona (i.e. Venezia Orobica), and Mantua.
