Italians are voting Sunday in run-off mayoral elections in several cities.
Mayoral run-off polls are taking place in five more cities, Milan, Turin, Naples, Bologna and Trieste, with other municipalities also voting.
Nearly 9 million people are eligible to vote on Sunday.
Turnout was low at 62.1% in the first round in June, compared to 67.4% in the previous elections, the Italian Interior Ministry said.
Much of the attention is on the capital, Rome, where Virginia Raggi of the Euroskeptic and anti-establishment opposition Five Star Movement (M5S) is pitted against PD candidate Roberto Giachetti.
Raggi, who has become one of the most recognized faces in Italian politics after just a few months of campaigning, took over 35% in the first round, pushing Giachetti into second place.
If elected, Raggi, who tops opinion polls, would become the first woman to lead Rome's city council in the Palazzo Senatorio on the Capitoline Hill.
