(ANSA) - Rome, May 25 - Rome Mayor Virginia Raggi met Foreign Minister Luigi Di Maio Monday amid talk of her running to stay on as the Italian capital's first citizen in next year's election.
    Di Maio is the former leader of Raggi's anti-establishment 5-Star Movement (M5S), which is led by MP Vito Crimi.
