14. SOUNDBITE (English) James Walston, Professor of International Relations at the American University of Rome:
"The whole political class is considered very low on most Italians' ratings. Marino is somebody who has come from the outside. He spent a lot of his professional life as a physician, as a surgeon in the United States, and so in that sense he is foreign. He is not completely new, but he has experience in running certainly medical facilities, he has some experience as a politician, limited, but he is completely new compared to somebody like Gianni Alemanno, who's spent the last 25 or 30 years in politics."

Rome - 5 June 2013
19. SOUNDBITE (English) James Walston, Professor of International Relations at the American University of Rome:
"Because the two main parties are in coalition together, they cannot fight too loudly over Rome. So what we are seeing in Rome today, over these two weeks of campaigning, has actually been very low key, very low profile, because (Silvio) Berlusconi has not been out fighting for Alemanno, or hardly. The leaders of PD (Democratic Party), most of them have not been fighting for Marino and this is because they don't want to rock the boat at a national level."

STORYLINE
Political novice Ignazio Marino is hoping to be elected mayor of Rome in a runoff election on 9-10 June.
Marino does not boast the usual qualifications for a job in Italian politics; he is a transplant surgeon who studied and worked in the US before returning to his country where he helped create a state of the art transplant centre in Sicily.
Marino hasn't made much of his transplant surgeon background in the campaign.
