Vote preferable to anti-EU govt says Monti (ANSA) - Rome, March 6 - Outgoing Premier Mario Monti said on Wednesday that markets would react more positively if Italy returned to the polls than if a government with anti-European Union leanings took over.

"If the alternative is a government ready to interrupt Italy's European path or that of reforms, I believe that it would be better to call new elections," Monti said.
