Italians have begun voting in general elections seen as crucial for the country's effort to tackle its economic problems, as well as for the eurozone.


Estimates published before a ban on polls two weeks ago gave a lead to Pier Luigi Bersani's centre-left alliance.
It was thought to be a few points ahead of the centre-right bloc led by ex-Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi.
