Palermo Mayor Leoluca Orlando deposits his vote November 30 in nation-wide elections for mayors in 43 councils in which the government's centre-left coalition was expected to consolidate gains made in first round ballots two-weeks ago. Orlando, seeking a second term, is credited with transforming the city, making it safer and raising its profile in Italy and abroad. He has also won admiration for his outspoken attacks on the Sicilian Mafia, Cosa Nostra.
