Giachetti 'commiserates' with Marchini

(updates previous) (ANSA) - Rome, April 28 - Democratic Party (PD) Rome mayoral candidate Roberto Giachetti said Tuesday he feels sorry for his center-right opponent Alfio Marchini, because he will have to change all his campaign posters since Silvio Berlusconi's Forza Italia (FI) party decided to back him earlier in the day. Rome is papered with Marchini posters saying the candidate is "free from parties". "All my solidarity to Marchini," Giachetti told Sky TG24 news. Marchini said his slogan meant the centre-right should team up to "free Rome" from those who damaged it.
