[Italy](https://electionsarchive.com/it.md) / [Puglia](https://electionsarchive.com/it/puglia.md) / [Castellana Grotte](https://electionsarchive.com/it/puglia/castellana-grotte.md), May 27, 2007

Francesco Tricase led with 44.4% of the vote, 15.1 points ahead of Saverio De Bellis.

> Results are by municipality, from the Interior Ministry's open data file for this round of municipal elections; where the file reports polling sections, they are summed by municipality. No candidate won an absolute majority, so the top two went to a runoff on the second Sunday after (TUEL art. 72); the runoff date is that rule's, as the open data gives only the first round's date.
