In-form Paul Dunne is well placed heading into today's second round of the Italian Open.
The Greystones man tees off from 4-under par, and starts the day just 3-shots off the leading group of six golfers.
Shane Lowry and Graeme McDowell will both be hopeful of climbing the leaderboard today - both men are 2-under.
While Padraig Harrington already has his work cut out - yesterday's 73 leaves him 2-over.
