I can`t find out anything about Elvis' shows of the last few days in Italy. As I usually do I've been hunting around some local `paper sites. Maybe someone here who understands the language might have better luck .

Costello, due ore d'autore
CATANIA - Una serata di grande musica, un artista di
primissimo piano che ha mandato in visibilio le oltre
1500 persone presenti all'auditorium delle Ciminiere
di Catania. E' Elvis Costello, che ieri sera si è
esibito nell'ambito di Etnafest, la rassegna di eventi
della Provincia e dell'Azienda provinciale per il
Turismo di Catania.
L'artista ha incantato il pubblico catanese, al quale
ha regalato due ore ininterrotte di musica d' autore,
ripercorrendo 35 anni di successi. Declan Patrick
MacManus, questo il vero nome di Costello, ha
cominciato la sua performance con i brani del suo
North, l' album di ballad pubblicato recentemente, per
arrivare poi, in un percorso a ritroso nel tempo, agli
anni del rock and roll e ai motivi che lo hanno fatto
conoscere ed apprezzare come uno dei musicisti più
eclettici e creativi del suo genere.
Pubblico in piedi per l'ultima mezz'ora del concerto,
e poi per i tre bis che Costello ha generosamente
regalato, alternandoli a battute ironiche e
istrionismi che i suoi fans ben conoscono. Eccezionale
Steve Nieve, pianista raffinato e polistrumentista
entusiasmante, che anche a Catania ha accompagnato
Costello per «In Concert: Playing Songs from North and
Other Favourites». Presi d'assalto ieri sera i
botteghini delle Ciminiere, dopo il tutto esaurito
registrato in prevendita, per gli ultimi stock di
biglietti che sono stati venduti in pochi minuti.
Entusiasta il presidente della Provincia, Raffaele
Lombardo: «Anch' io - ha detto - mi sono emozionato
nel riascoltare motivi che, possiamo dirlo senza
timore di smentita, fanno parte della storia della
musica. Quello di ieri, per la grande partecipazione
di pubblico e per il livello musicale dell'
esibizione, è stato l'ennesimo successo di Etnafest,
una rassegna che abbiamo ideato con l'unica
discriminante della qualità». «Puntiamo ai grandi
eventi - ha concluso Lombardo - per esportare cultura
e per fare della provincia di Catania il punto di
riferimento nel Mediterraneo di un turismo
qualificato».

Re: Elvis in Italy
I'm contemplating going to Italy in May to catch a handful of his Detour shows.
Part of why I'm considering it: Based on concert clips I've seen of him there--and the fact that he's doing SEVEN shows there this year, compared to three in Spain and only one each in Germany, France, Scandinavia and Switzerland--I get the impression that EC has a particularly enthusiastic following in Italy.
Is this true? Has it been for some time? Has EC ever spoken about it/

Re: Elvis in Italy
L'Espresso which seems to be an offshoot of Repubblica, sums up the Italian leg of Detour thus in an articled published on 30 May:
""Elvis Costello, 40 anni di carriera in un solo show
Declan Patrick MacManus, in arte Elvis Costello, ha portato il suo "Detour" solo show in Italia. L'inedito spettacolo ripercorre i 40 anni di carriera del poliedrico cantautore inglese la cui esperienza artistica spazia tra i più svariati generi musicali. Elvis Costello ha pubblicato oltre 35 album, collaborato con artisti del calibro di Paul McCartney e Burt Bacharach, e dal 2003 è entrato nella Rock and Roll Hall of Fame insieme alla sua band "The Attractions". Quella del 29 maggio all'Auditorium di Roma è stata la sesta delle sette date italiane del tour che ha fatto tappa a Torino, Milano, Padova, Firenze, Bologna e che si concluderà a Brescia il 31 maggio 2016."
Or in "English" via Google Translate
Elvis Costello, 40-year career in one show
Declan Patrick MacManus, aka Elvis Costello, brought his "Detour" only show in Italy. The new show traces the 40-year career of the multi-talented English singer-songwriter whose artistic experience ranges from a wide variety of music. Elvis Costello has released over 35 albums, collaborated with the likes of Paul McCartney and Burt Bacharach, and since 2003 has entered the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame with his band "The Attractions". That of May 29 at the Auditorium of Rome was the sixth of the seven Italian dates of the tour that made a stop in Turin, Milan, Padua, Florence, Bologna and ending in Brescia May 31, 2016."
The article accompanied a gallery of photos from the Italian dates.
