RE: Italy: The Biggest Elephant Jeopardizing Europe and the Euro
I can't find anything in the DC leaks showing any Soros control over the Five Star Movement (unlike Podemos & Syriza which are his toys).
As far as I know the Five Star Movement is fully independent and self funded (by members) and on their blog there's several articles attacking Soros:

and they also have a soft stance on Russia (which won't please Soros)

Grillo does agree with Stiglitz on monetary policy but that's about it.
the 5 Star Movement is similar to the Pirate and Internet party, with an online platform for participatory democracy where members can propose, discuss,and vote laws and policies. they are a godsend for Italy IMO, though Italy might collapse before they even gain power for the reasons you mentioned.
