2001 Italian General Election
The 2001 Italian general election was held in Italy on 13 May 2001 to elect members of the Chamber of Deputies and the Senate of the Republic. The election was won by the centre-right coalition House of Freedoms led by Silvio Berlusconi, defeating Francesco Rutelli, former mayor of Rome, and leader of the centre-left coalition The Olive Tree, and rising back to power after Berlusconi's first victory in the 1994 Italian general election.

Elections In Veneto
This page gathers the results of elections in Veneto.

Va' Pensiero Padania
''Va' pensiero Padania'' was a Northern-Italian electoral list for the 2001 general election. In 2000 Lega Nord signed a coalition pact with Silvio Berlusconi's Forza Italia.

Most candidates of ''Va' pensiero'' were members of the League, such as incumbent senator Giuseppe Leoni, who stood in Varese. Another leading member and future leader of Lega Padana Lombardia, Roberto Bernardelli, was to stand as candidate in opposition to Marcello Dell'Utri in a constituency in Milano, but later backtracked.
