Gabrielle de Vietri (born 1983) is a member of the Victorian Greens elected in the 2022 Victorian state election for the electoral district of Richmond.^[2]^[3] From 2020 to 2021, she^[a] was mayor of the City of Yarra.^[5]

Life and career

In 2003, de Vietri earned a Visual Arts Certificate from the École supérieure d'art d'Aix-en-Provence [fr], followed by a Bachelor of Fine Art (Honours) from the Victorian College of the Arts in 2005 and a Master of Fine Art from Monash University in 2013.^[1] She worked as a professional artist until 2019, undertaking numerous residencies and grant projects.^[1]

In 2020, de Vietri was elected a councillor for the Langridge Ward in the City of Yarra.^[1]^[6] She soon became Yarra Mayor, serving until 2021.^[5]

De Vietri announced in August 2022 that she would be taking leave from her role at the City of Yarra due to her running in the 2022 state election.^[7] She was then announced as the Greens candidate for the district of Richmond.^[8] De Vietri was successful in this election.^[9]

In November 2023 de Vietri was suspended without pay for posting a photo of a climate protest occurring in parliament on social media. ^[10]

On 20 March 2024, de Vietri introduced a motion in Victorian Parliament supporting the writers involved in the State Library Victoria Teen Writing Bootcamp controversy. The motion acknowledged that the Library had "terminated the contracts of four writers who have spoken in support of Palestine", and that as political censorship is "indefensible" and public institutions are expected to hold "high ethical and transparency standards", the Library should now fully account for its decision. The motion was not passed.^[11]
