The seats will close at 3 pm on Monday for 126 municipalities called to renew the councils. 117 are those of the regions with ordinary statute, of which 31 above the 15 thousand inhabitants and among these 4 capitals: Genoa, Ravenna, Taranto and Matera.

(The list of municipalities to vote):

The ballots will be held on June 8-9, in conjunction with the vote on the five abrogative referendums at work and citizenship (The special).

And precisely in view of the June referendum appointment that the turnout in the first round of the administrative is followed with particular attention by the promoter of the referendum: “I think that if the quorum will be reached, the yes” will be won, is the forecast of the secretary of the CGIL, Maurizio Landini, in the front row in support of the referendum campaign.
The administrative round, however, in some cases also represents a sort of tests for coalitions in view of the regional elections of autumn. An example is certainly the challenge for the conquest of the Municipality of Genoa (in 2022 it voted in one day). To contend for the first citizen band are Silvia Salis, supported by the so -called progressive field in Extralarge formation (Pd, M5S, AVS, Action and IV) and the outgoing deputy mayor Piero Piciocchi, supported by the center -right.

In the other large cities called to the polls, the challenge for the first citizen armchair is much more numerous with traditional coalitions that in several cases run separately. This is the case of Taranto where the wide field is divided (Pd and Avs together in support of Piero Bittetti) while the Five Star Movement runs alone by supporting Angela Angolano, the only woman on the pitch. In the Apulian city, however, the center -right is also divided: Forza Italia and brothers of Italy cheer for Luca Lazzaro while the League runs without a symbol by supporting the civic Francesco Tanto.
Pd, AVS and M5S are also divided into Basilicata. In Matera, Conte’s party supports the outgoing mayor Domenico Bennardi while the support of dem and Avs is for Vincenzo Santochirico. The center -right, on the other hand, is united for Antonio Nicoletti.

Urns also open in Ravenna, the historic red stronghold where the center -right has never established itself in republican history. The city is called to vote after the election of the mayor, Michele De Pascale, to governor of Emilia Romagna. To contend for the guide of the city are 7 challengers. The progressive field presents itself in extralarge format to support Alessandro Barattoni, provincial secretary of the Democratic Party. While the center -right breaks. The League supports Alvaro Ancisi, renamed the dean of the candidates for mayors: born in 1940, in the city council since 1966. Forza Italia and Meloniani instead support Nicola Grandi, former city councilor of the Civic List Viva Ravenna.

The symbol of the DC, the only one party to support the race of Giovanni Morgese, also returns to the City.
Space also for the so -called extra -parliamentary left: APR, Power to the people and Italian Communist Party support the only woman on the pitch, Marisa Iannucci.

Genoa

As for the main challenges, there is no doubt that Genoa has the eyes on the part of all leaders. The center -left, in particular, has deployed to take the city of the lantern, a “extra -large” wide field format (with PD, AVS, M5S and IV) to support its candidate Silvia Salis. It is up to Pietro Piciocchiexpression of the center -right, defending the chair of first citizen who was by Marco Bucci, now president of the Liguria region.

Ravenna

Roles inverted in the challenge of Ravenna where to defend the “red fort” of the Romagna capital is the center -left with the dem Alessandro Barattoni who will find himself challenging a divided center -right: brothers of Italy in fact focuses on Nicola Grandiwho collected the support of Forza Italia but not of the League who instead decided to focus on Alvaro Ancisi85 years in August, dean of Ravenna politics, present in the city council since 1966.

Matera

Situation that is turned upside down again, when it comes to Matera where the unit is recorded in the center -right, compact around Antonio Nicolettiwhile three center -left candidates, without even the symbol of the Democratic Party.

Taranto

To make the accounts draw between unity and division, he thinks about it Taranto Where the situation is confused on both sides: Pd and minor allies seek the reconquest of the city palace with Pietro Bitetti, while the M5S goes alone with the civic Annagrazia Angolano.

On the opposite side, the League, which without symbol has merged in the first Taranto, supports Francesco Tacento together with some civics; The center -right group Luca Lazzaro supported by Fdi and Fi.
