The left-wing parties close to 3% must cross it otherwise we ahve lsot the senate.
Regarding the camer: It is bascially won by the coalition that gets more votes. this is why the total senate results is important. It is an excellent guide to which party will get the camera.
Right now, Prodi lead by by 100 kvotes with 11 million ovtes to count.
It looks really bad right now.

I so very, very much want to get rid of Mr. Coglioni. Peak oil is not an energy crisis. It is a liquid fuel crisis.
It is a complete tie with 10 million votes to go.
Senate is probably lost... if we lost the total count of votes we lose the camera and no new election will be needed. Berlusconi would have won
Prodi will get more seats in the Senate than are assigned by the bonus rule applicable to the "favorite party coalition", because his coalition scored a higher percentage in Tuscany and Emilia-Romagna (more than 60%), which by far out-doe the number of administravely distributed extra seats.
In Süd Tirol the bonus rule does not apply at all. Prodi will not have to share the seats with Berlusconi. There the "winner takes it all" rule applies.

Indeed Prodi does not need the 200 kvotes to get the Senate itself, small parties in his coalition need much more less, but if you count the ratio among parties it will give you this number, roughly, for the total coalition so that the small parties cross the 3%.
Please, if I am mistaken, tell me. I will have to make a comment on my comment down about Prodi losing the senate.
