The City Council of Rome or Capitoline Assembly (Italian: Assemblea Capitolina; Romanesco: Assembrea Capitorina, Er Comune/Campidojo) is the top tier legislative body of Rome, Italy. It consists of the directly elected mayor of Rome and of an elected 48-member assembly. It represents a legislative body which can also control the mayor's policy guidelines and be able to enforce their resignation by a motion of no confidence.
The city council is elected for a five-year term and is based on a direct choice for the candidate with a preference vote: the candidate with the majority of the preferences is elected. The number of seats for each party is determined by a mechanism of majority bonus.
The city council meets at Palazzo Senatorio, seated in Piazza del Campidoglio.
