Mayor of Rome Virginia Raggi (C) gestures as she leaves the city hall on the Campidoglio Square (Piazza Campidoglio) in central Rome on December 20, 2016.
Rome's Mayor Virginia Raggi has been stripped by her populist Five Star Movement (M5S) party of the power to make "important decisions" after a close advisor was arrested for suspected corruption.
