The scrutiny of the municipal elections that were held together with the referendum and some regional ones between Sunday and Monday has already concluded in some cities, and is still continuing in others. We voted in almost a thousand municipalities, but only 15 were provincial capitals, where the results were, therefore, more expected and relevant from the political point of view. We already know how it ended in twelve of these, in two it is not yet known with certainty who will go to the polls, and in one – Aosta – the voting has not yet begun.

In five provincial capitals, elections have already been decided in the first round, because one candidate exceeded 50 percent. In four cases he was the outgoing mayor: center left in Mantua and Trani, center right in Venice, independent Fermo. In Macerata the businessman Sandro Parcaroli won by measure, supported by the center right. Ten municipalities will go on the ballot: in five cases between the center-right and the center-left, in one case between the center-right and the 5-Star Movement, in another between the center-right and the independent, while in two cases it is still not certain.
In the best of cases, the 5-Star Movement will have managed to reach two votes, and in no case has its candidate been the most voted. In the 15 capitals, there is only one woman who reached the ballot (she did not win in the first round): Giovanna bruno Andria’s Democratic Party.
A Venice outgoing mayor won Luigi brugnaro, supported by the center-right, which won 54% of the votes. The main challenger Pier Paolo Baretta, undersecretary of finance of the Democratic Party, barely exceeded 29%.
A Matera the ballot is still a bit late, but it is already known that they will go to the ballot Rocco Luigi Sassone, from the center-right, and Domenico Bennardi, of the 5 Star Movement and also with the support of Europa Verde and Volt. The former got around 30%, the latter 28%, while Giovanni Schiuma, from the center left, stopped at around 20%. The outgoing mayor, Raffaello De Ruggieri, an independent center right, had not reappointed.
A Mantua the outgoing mayor Mattia palazziThe 37-year-old from the Democratic Party got more than 70% of the vote. Stefano Rossi, supported by the center-right, took around 22%.
A Crotone there will be a ballot between Antonio Manica, a lawyer supported by the center-right, who took about 40%, and Vincenzo Voce, an engineer known for his environmental activism who was endorsed by various civic lists. Danilo Arcuri, candidate of the center-left – although the PD had not even presented its own symbol for a series of internal conflicts – stopped at around 16%. The fact that the center-left is not even at the polls is news for a working-class city that has a very leftist history, and that until the 1990s mainly elected communist or socialist mayors. The previous mayor, Ugo Pugliese, chosen with a list of center, resigned at the end of 2019 because he was involved in an investigation for interruption of the auction.
A Reggio calabria the outgoing mayor will go to the ballot Giuseppe Falcomatà, 37 years of the Democratic Party, and Antonio Minicuci, supported by the center-right: both are around 35 percent, with Falcomatà a few points ahead.
Ad Arezzo the outgoing mayor Alessandro Ghinelli, from the center-right, obtained 47% of the votes, so he will go to the polls with Luciano Ralli of the Democratic Party, ex-leader of the City Council, which however stopped at 35%. Marco Donati, a former PD MP, was the third most voted candidate with around 9% of the vote.
A Bolzano we will go to the ballot: Renzo caramaschi, outgoing center-left mayor, took 34%, beating the challenger by less than one point Roberto Zanin of the League supported by the center-right. Walcher Luis, the candidate of the Südtiroler Volkspartei, finished third with more than 13% and should support Caramaschi in the second round.
A Trento won in the first round Franco Ianeselli, 42-year-old former CGIL unionist, supported by the center-left: took almost 55 percent, while the main challenger Andrea Merler, from the center right, took 30%. Trento was already administered by the center left.
A Lecco will go to the ballot Peppino Ciresa, supported by the center-right, which took almost 49%, and Maurio Gattinoni of the Democratic Party, about 42%. The outgoing mayor, Virginio Brivio, in office since 2010, was from the Democratic Party.
A Stop swept the outgoing mayor Paolo Calcinaro, supported by a series of lists of civic centers (he had been deputy mayor of the center-left board between 2011 and 2013), which seized 71%. Renzo Interlenghi, from the center-left, was the second most voted candidate with 15%.
A Chieti the ballot will go: surely there will be Fabrizio Di Stefano, a longtime former MP and politician, with a past ranging from far right to Forza Italia to Lega, and then one in between Pietro Diego Ferrara, doctor supported by the center-right, and Bruno Di Iorio, also a doctor and who had the support of civic lists close to Forza Italia and Italia Viva. The vote is still a bit behind: Di Stefano has far exceeded 30%, while Ferrara and Di Iorio are quite close, between 21% and 25%, although for now the former has a decent advantage.
A Macerata won Sandro Parcaroli, an entrepreneur supported by the center-right, which exceeded 51%; Narciso Ricotta, center left, took around 33%. The outgoing mayor was Romano Carancini, from the center left.
Ad Andria we will go to the ballot: surely there will be Giovanna bruno of the Democratic Party, lawyer, who took 38%. And then one between Michele Coratella of the 5 Star Movement and Antonio Scamarcio center-right: the vote is still ongoing and they are quite close, between 20% and 21%. Former center-right mayor Nicola Giorgino resigned in 2019 because he had lost a majority in the council.
A Trani the outgoing mayor won in the first round Amedeo Bottaro, from the Democratic Party, which took 65% of the votes. He had been talked about during the confinement phase for having adopted particularly strict measures in the city.
Ad Aosta there has been no vote yet (the regional vote was held on Tuesday).
