Italy's centre-right government has suffered heavy losses in local polls seen as a crucial test for next year's general election.
Partial results show the government has only definitely won two of 13 regions taking part in the local council vote.
It is a huge boost for the opposition centre-left leader Romano Prodi who is expected to stand against Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi next year.
Several events and TV debates were cancelled, but it did not affect turnout which stood at more than 71%.
Before the two-day election, eight regions were held by the governing coalition and five by the opposition.
Only the regions of Lombardy, which contains Milan - Italy's financial heart - and Veneto, which includes Venice, appear to still be in the governing coalition's hands.
yeah.. I live close to venice :o :o
