ROME: The Italian election campaign is different from those of years past when the streets were lined with political posters and leaders rallied voters up and down the country.

The placards are few and far between and the only large rallies were held during the final week of the campaign for the March 4 vote. But in the virtual world, Facebook and other social media are full of political content.
