[Italy](https://electionsarchive.com/it.md) / [Veneto](https://electionsarchive.com/it/veneto.md) / [Montebelluna](https://electionsarchive.com/it/veneto/montebelluna.md), November 16, 1997

Silverio Zaffaina led with 46.4% of the vote, 22.4 points ahead of Giorgio Isetta.

> Results are by municipality, from the Interior Ministry's open data file for this round of municipal elections; where the file reports polling sections, they are summed by municipality. No candidate won an absolute majority, so the top two went to a runoff on the second Sunday after (TUEL art. 72); the runoff date is that rule's, as the open data gives only the first round's date.
