The anti-establishment 5-Star
Movement's (M5S) candidate Giuliana Di Pillo won Sunday's runoff
in local elections in the Rome seaside district of Ostia.
Di Pillo won around 60% of the vote, compared to around 40%
for the centre right's Monica Picca.
The turnout was just 33.6%.
Two years ago the municipality became the first in Rome to
ever be dissolved for Mafia infiltration.
"Well done Giuliana Di Pillo!," Rome Mayor Virginia Raggi, a
M5S member, said via Twitter.
"The Roman people are with us and in favour of change".
