ROME (Reuters) - The centre-left candidate for Rome mayor in an election seen as a test of Italy's fragile coalition government was leading the field, projections showed on Monday, but the ballot is likely to go to a run-off next month.

Ignazio Marino of the Democratic Party (PD) would get between about 39 and 42 percent, according to the projections. His centre-right rival, incumbent Gianni Alemanno of Silvio Berlusconi's centre-right, would get between about 28 and 32 percent.
