The counting has begun and the projections are going crazy on the web. According to the Tecnè institute for Sky Tg24, Marino is at 42,6%, Alemanno at 28,3%, De Vito at 12,8% and Marchini at 11,4%. Piepoli for Rai, on the other hand, reports 40,8% for Marino and 31,2% for Alemanno.
In any case, all the projections point to a clear advantage for the Pd candidate compared to the outgoing mayor Gianni Alemanno. Marcello De Vito, candidate of the 5 Star Movement, has found much less consensus than expected; the movement replied that the drop in consensus would be the fault of strong abstention.
The data on abstention in the city of Rome is not yet defined. One out of two Romans, according to unofficial data, did not go to vote.
