Some Italian politics, this via AFP and just a bit of an update and only via exit polls at this stage as official counting has not yet begun:
- Italy's resurgent right looked set to triumph over the country's populists in Sicily's regional vote Sunday
- Victory seen as a key indicator for the general election
- The anti-establishment Five Star Movement (M5S) had been ready to take home its first region in a ballot closely watched not just in Italy but in a Europe uneasy with the rise of populism.But candidate Giancarlo Cancelleri, 42, was apparently pipped to the post by Nello Musumeci, 62, as a divided left faltered.
