VENICE. Venezia returns to Serie A after 19 years. The lagoon, after the 1-0 victory of the first leg, drew at the ‘Penzo’ with Cittadella 1-1 in the second leg of the Serie B playoffs, thus gaining promotion. Venturato’s men took the lead in the 26th minute with Proia, scoring on an assist from Iori. Paolo Zanetti’s team remained in ten from 36 ‘due to a double yellow card from Mazzocchi in less than a minute. In the second half, in full recovery, Venezia finds the equalizer on the counterattack with Bocalon’s goal (93 ‘). The lagoons thus join Empoli and Salernitana, already promoted to the top flight.
