 | | In the northwest industrial heartland of Turin, centre-left candidate Sergio Chiamparino, 53, won 52.8 percent to keep the city on the left for a third consecutive term, edging out lawyer Roberto Rosso, 44. |
 | | In the southern port city of Naples, Rosa Jervolino, 53, a centrist five-times government minister, took 52.9 percent of the vote to beat Antonio Martusciello, 39, a former manager at Berlusconi's advertising firm Publitalia. |
