ROME: After two and a half millennia of being ruled by men, Rome will wake up on Monday under new management.
Virginia Raggi was Sunday elected as the Italian capital's first female mayor, sweeping into city hall on the ticket of the populist Five Star movement (M5S) with the backing of two thirds of voters.
A Roman born and bred, the 37-year-old lawyer is a political novice but the campaign saw her grow increasingly assured in her public performances as it became clear she was on course for victory.
Yada-yada-yada. Her politics are probably typical Italy-whackadoodle, but let's get to the pics.
