LONDON, June 13 (Reuters) - A recovery in tech stocks and fresh optimism over troubled Italians banks lifted European shares from seven-week lows on Tuesday. Capita CPI.L led the gains after offering a reassuring outlook.

The pan-European STOXX 600 .STOXX index ended up 0.6 percent, almost fully recovering losses from the previous session. Italy's benchmark .FTMIB rose 0.9 percent.

Tech stocks .SX8P rose more than 1 percent after Monday's sell-off, when concern over valuations at U.S. companies spilled over to Europe, particularly companies supplying Apple (NASDAQ: AAPL ).

"The tech sector has been relied upon as the driver of the bull run, particularly in the U.S., so whenever there is any weakness that's observed there, it is quickly picked up by the market," said Jonathan Roy, advisory investment manager at Charles Hanover Investments.

"The sector is fairly well-valued, in some respects quite richly valued, so that could be a weakness if we do see a souring in sentiment."

Dialog Semiconductor DLGS.DE , Infineon IFXGn.DE and ASM International ASMI.AS were among the tech stocks gaining the most, rising 1.2 to 4.7 percent.

"It's quite evident that the authorities are not too keen to let any institutions really, really fail ... there's always a last-minute deal done for them," Charles Hanover Investments' Roy said. He sees value in Italy and Spain over the next 18 to 24 months.
