Massimo Bitonci (born 24 June 1965, in Padua) is an Italian Venetist politician. He is a member of Liga Veneta–Lega Nord, which he has served as national president since 2016.
In 1993, he joined Lega Nord and was deputy mayor of Cittadella from 1994 to 2002.[1] During his second term he followed mayor Lucio Facco into Liga Veneta Repubblica (LVR). With the support of LVR he ran for mayor in 2002 and was elected with 50.9% of the vote in a run-off, defeating Liga Veneta in one of its traditional strongholds.[2]
In 2007 he was re-elected mayor with the 56.5% of the vote in the first round. In that occasion he was supported by a regionalist front composed of Liga Veneta, LVR and some civic lists, which won altogether 51.7% of the vote.[3]
