Closing of the electoral campaign for the regional elections in seven regions

- Liguria, Marche, Puglia, Tuscany, Valle D'Aosta, Campania and Veneto with the vote in Tuscany weighing the balance for the final outcome that sees the center-right break down for the first time the red stronghold.

The outcome of the vote for the Referendum which decides the cut of the parliamentarians is decisive for the political balance.

And if the M5s is all about the NO to the referendum and the future of its leadership, Zingaretti holds up the challenge to Salvini and Renzi who are playing the future of Italia Viva.

First the challenge of the final rallies in Florence then the game moves to Cascina (Pisa), a Northern League fief that has become the symbol of the rise of the Carroccio in Tuscany.

The Tuscan capital is the 'epicenter' where candidates and big politicians gathered in the afternoon for the last remnants of the electoral campaign.

The center-left candidate for governor Eugenio Giani has made an appointment at 6:30 pm in Santissima Annunziata, a place of symbolic and historical value: the square of the Tuscan New Year and the Annunciation, but also of the reception where the Institute of Innocenti, and in which stands the statue of the Grand Duke Ferdinando I. Together with Giani there are also the leader Iv Matteo Renzi and the senator Psi Riccardo Nencini.

Not far away, at 6 pm in Piazza della Repubblica, the fulcrum of the historic center of Florence where the Sardines had paraded only a few months, Matteo Salvini, Giorgia Meloni and Antonio Tajani together with candidate Susanna Ceccardi, League member MEP, met with the people of the center-right.

At the same time, the M5s candidate Irene Galletti instead concluded at the Murate, another symbolic place of Florence and where she had begun her electoral campaign by presenting the lists.

Songs and dances in Piazza Poggi, from 8 pm, for the initiative of the Tuscan candidate on the left Tommaso Fattori.

Closing instead in Livorno, at 6 pm, in front of the historic former San Marco theater, where on 21 January 1921 the Communist Party of Italy led by Antonio Gramsci was born, for Marco Barzanti, candidate for governor of the reconstituted PCI, flanked by the national secretary Mauro Alboresi for an appointment in the name of the party's historical tradition.

The other two candidates, Salvatore Catello for the Communist Party and Tiziana Vigni from the Movimento 3V list, in Florence had concluded their campaign yesterday.

In the evening then the very last tranche of the electoral campaign, played in Cascina, the town of Susanna Ceccardi who was the mayor, where the administrative elections are also at stake.

In the afternoon the Sardines returned to demonstrate in the town of Pisano after last Saturday's meeting against the Lega, when Susanna Ceccardi's father broke into the event in defense of his daughter.

And always in Cascina in the evening Salvini is expected to close the municipal electoral campaign in support of the Northern League candidate, Leonardo Cosentini.

There should also be Ceccardi herself.

In support of the candidate for mayor of the Democratic Party, Michelangelo Betti, Enrico Letta will intervene in the afternoon and then Walter Veltroni and Anna Ascani tonight.
