Domenico Moschella, also known as Dominic Moschella, was a politician in Montreal, Quebec, Canada. He served on the Montreal City Council from 2013 to 2015, representing Saint-Léonard-Est as a member of Coalition Montréal. Moschella was previously a city councillor in Saint-Leonard from 1982 to 1986 and again from 1990 to 2001, prior to the suburban community's amalgamation into the city of Montreal. He also served as a commissioner on the Commission scolaire de la Pointe-de-l'Île. Moschella died in office on June 23, 2015. Private career Moschella was vice-president of an investment counselling firm in 1986. He later worked as a restaurateur. Municipal councillor 1982–86 Moschella was first elected to the Saint-Leonard council for the city's third district in the 1982 municipal election as a member of mayor Antonio di Ciocco's Équipe du renouveau de la cité de Saint-Léonard. Di Ciocco died in 1984, and his party subsequently split into two groups: Moschella led a new party called Action civique de Saint-Léonard while Raymond Renaud led the rival Ralliement de Saint-Léonard. A mayoral by-election was held in September 1984, and Renaud defeated Moschella in what proved to be an extremely divisive contest. Renaud later stated that Moschella had run a "malicious" campaign against him; in December 1984, he launched a $41,000 suit for alleged defamatory remarks. Moschella threatened to counter-sue, saying that the new mayor would "wind up paying [his] legal fees and then some" if the matter came to court. He also said that Renaud's lawsuit would be harmful to the democratic process, as politicians might become reluctant to speak openly if they were concerned about provoking legal action. Newspaper accounts do not indicate how the matter was resolved. Moschella was the only Saint-Leonard city councillor to serve with the Action civique party following the 1984 by-election. He later called for a merger of the city's three opposition parties, and in late 1986 he dissolved Action civique to become a founding member of a new group called Unité de Saint-Léonard. He ran for re-election under this party's banner for the city's twelfth ward in the 1986 municipal election and narrowly lost to Robert Zambito, a candidate of Renaud's slate. In early 1986, Moschella argued that Saint-Leonard should reduce its business tax rate so as to benefit shopkeepers. The following year, he took part in a local protest against property tax increases. 1990–2001 Renaud's political party lost much of its governing
