   In the centre-left there is an air of enthusiasm for what is seen by many as a possible comeback.

Luciano D'Amico, the candidate from the very wide field, is convinced he can make it.

"In Abruzzo I will win, I think with more than 52 percent", shouts the former rector of the University of Teramo, who his supporters define as "the builder of the future".

For the closing of the campaign he chooses not to have the national leaders who supported him with a massive presence in the area at his side.

From Elly Schlein to Giuseppe Conte, from Carlo Calenda to Matteo Renzi, passing through Nichi Vendola and Angelo Bonelli.

    Everyone has been here hunting for the last useful vote to overturn a result that a few weeks ago seemed obvious.

Between the first stages of the electoral campaign and the grand finale, however, victory in Sardinia is involved.

And, not surprisingly, it is the president Alessandra Todde who shares the L'Aquila stage with D'Amico.

With the hope that the Sardinian wind can blow on her victory.

“United, just like in Sardinia, we can beat this right,” says Todde.

She who takes to the field for the last decisive hours, crossing the length and breadth of the province of L'Aquila.

    In Celano one of Giuseppe Conte's last stops in the Region crosses paths.

They hug, walk and record "the force of change here too".

"With cohesive coalitions we compete at every level", relaunches the M5s president.

    "Unity" is the watchword that everyone raises in giving the final sprint to D'Amico.

"United we win", said Schlein and Stefano Boanccini on stage in Pescara.

"Todde is the concrete perspective that can be won, that a perspective of renewal can be achieved", reiterates Conte da Pescina.

    Where he relaunches the prospect of a national government with the Democratic Party. "It is unlikely that the M5s will reach 50.01%", he comments.

"I hear people's clear desire for change", adds the dem deputy Alessandro Zan from Chieti.

Both the M5s and the PD, in the last few hours, have insisted a lot on a sensitive issue among the citizens of Abruzzo: healthcare.

Conte speaks of a "disaster" of the Marsilio junta and attacks: "there was no attention to the needs of the community".

He lashes out against the "false promises" made by "about fifteen ministers", referring to the government representatives who arrived in the Region in support of Marsilio.

Among these, the minister Gennaro Sangiuliano, who goes on stage with Marsilio for the closure in the capital, and announces: the MiC has activated "200 million euros" for culture in Abruzzo.

The Democratic Party talks about "the use of public offices for political purposes".

On the Abruzzo front, candidate D'amico also attacks the latest measures approved by the Marsilio council with new resources: "we will abolish the maxi amendments with rain funds".

Last sparks.

    And Conte, from Marsica, insists: "if a page of renewal is written this will hit the government and the Brothers of Italy who have created their own fiefdom here".

A final lunge at Giorgia Meloni.

"Nervousness", "concern", are the words used by the centre-left to describe the atmosphere in the centre-right in view of Sunday's vote.

However, many in the Abruzzo streets believe that attacks on the right alone are not enough to hunt down the undecided.

And so, for the final duel, the M5s president tries to take the stage, fishing in the world of comedy.

He gets on a bench with Nduccio, famous in Abruzzo and beyond, and bets everything on irony with an unusual duet.

He takes up the catchphrase of this electoral campaign, the one about the origin of his opponent Marsilio.

And he launches a final heartfelt appeal for D'amico.

The presidential candidate also tries to ease the tension of the last few hours: "if I were to win I would cut my beard".

Looking towards Sunday.

Spotlight on the abstention data.

The center-left hopes to make up ground there.
