Io Voto No ("I Vote No") is an advocacy group in Italy that successfully campaigned to reject the constitutional reform, proposed by Matteo Renzi's government and approved by the Italian Parliament in the Spring of 2016,[1] in the December 2016 constitutional referendum.[2] The group's honorary president is Gustavo Zagrebelsky.

On 30 October 2015 the "Committee for No to the referendum on the modification of the Constitution" (Comitato per il No al referendum sulle modifiche alla Costituzione) was founded, with Alessandro Pace as president and Gustavo Zagrebelsky as honorary president.[3] Other notable members are Antonio Di Pietro, Maurizio Landini, Stefano Rodotà and Cesare Salvi.

On 11 March 2016, on the newspaper Il Fatto Quotidiano many notable professors, intellectuals, politicians and artists have signed a manifesto in opposition of the reforms.[4] The most famous signatories were:

  1. ^ "XVII Legislatura - XVII Legislatura - Lavori - Progetti di legge - Scheda del progetto di legge".
  2. ^ Io Voto No – Chi siamo
  3. ^ Deformata la Costituzione, nasce il Comitato per il No
  4. ^ Referendum costituzionale, firma l’appello per dire no alle riforme che riducono la democrazia
