MILAN, Sept 27 (Reuters) - Books for a reverse
accelerated book-building launched by Italian financial group
Unipol UNPI.MI on Banca Popolare di Sondrio BPSI.MI have so

a trader said.
Unipol said earlier on Wednesday it had hired Equita SIM and
Mediobanca to buy another 10.2% of Popolare di Sondrio, bringing
its overall stake to 19.7% and tightening its grip on the
regional lender.
