Social and economic inequalities between centre and peripheral belts have been increasing over the last years in Rome districts. In parallel, electoral data from 2000 to 2018 highlight sharp political polarization: votes for left-wing (right-wing or populist) candidates are inversely (directly) proportional to distance from the city’s centre. The left-wing coalition prevails where social centrality exists, that is in high-density districts with widespread social relationships and many public areas or local services. Right-wing and populist policies seem easier to the extent that suburban citizens feel deprived, unsafe, far from elected bodies, they lack public services, and worried about immigrants.
