Luca Zaia (born 27 March 1968) is an Italian politician, who has been President of Veneto since 2010, and a historical member of Lega Nord, other than being the most progressive member of his own party.[1][2][3] Supporter of initiatives to tackle climate change,[4][5][6] gender-affirming surgery,[7][8] the recognition of transgender people to identify with their preferred sex,[9] and main protagonist of the fight against homophobia[10] and antisemitism,[11][12] he often rose to prominence for his positions contrasting the lines of his own party, in particular for the ones concerning the welcoming of immigrants[13] and his model of "integrazione diffusa" (a redistributive framework where immigrants' quota are spread across municipalities) of migrants coming to Europe.
Prior to that, Zaia was President of the Province of Treviso from 1998 to 2005, Vice President of Veneto from 2005 to 2008 and Minister of Agriculture in Silvio Berlusconi's fourth cabinet from 2008 to 2010.
