STATISTICS - In general there is an army of candidates, 2,855 for the office of mayor and 62,294 for the role of city councilor, but it is mostly a race for men. In Rome there are 22 candidates for the position of mayor and 38 competing lists, with 1,648 candidates for the municipal council. Record numbers also in Milan (13 candidates for mayor, 28 lists, 1,188 candidates for the municipal council), Turin (13 candidates for mayor, 30 lists, 1,097 candidates for directors) and Naples (7 candidates for mayor, 31 lists, 1,165 candidates for directors).

The percentage grows for the candidate councilors, they are about 6 thousand out of 13,281, about 45%, also due to the effect of the 2012 law on gender representation in councils and councils.
