They held the second (and final) vote for the leading Italian literary prize, the Premio Strega, and even if the final results are not up at the official site, last I checked (because ... oh, who knows ....) it was, as, for example reported at l'Unità, Il desiderio di essere come tutti by Francesco Piccolo that narrowly beat out Il padre infedele by Antonio Scurati, 140 votes to 135 (the also-rans collecting 60, 48, and 30 votes).
Scurati had narrowly pipped Piccolo, 55 to 53, in the first round, but with fewer option more voters went for Piccolo this time around.
None of his books appear to have been translated into English yet, but see, for example, the Einaudi publicity page for the winning title.
