There are a few that have been brought over from the states to Italy. A car sharing scheme in Turin (I think) has a few.
The high cost of import is less of an issue here as used car prices are so much higher. While you can pick up an early leaf for £7k in Britain, it would cost me €5k just to get a 1990 Fiat Panda Elettra with 2 seats, lead batteries and a range of 35km.
On a wider note, thinking about Fiat and electric vehicles, you have to consider that Fiat sell over half of their annual European production in Italy, so unless something works in Italy they are unlikely to do it. Here are a couple of the reasons why the spread of electric cars in Italy is going to be difficult without some changes at a national level. Firstly, power limits. In Italy we can't just use as much power as our main fuse can take at any moment and be charged for it, we have to choose a limit (3kW, 4.5 kW, or 6kW) and the standing charge jumps for those requesting a higher limit. From this you'll see that having a domestic 6.6kW charger is not possible as you are already over the highest limit, so you are left with 3.3kW, which is unattractive to many. Secondly, electricity prices are much higher here than other parts of Europe. It would cost me €8 to charge a 24kWh battery from 0 - 100%, and that is more than it costs for the equivalent distance worth of petrol in our Punto. So, unless you really want to, and there are some (but not many) people that do want to, there is no economic case for the switch yet, and until there is then people won't switch and Fiat won't spend money building cars that they can't sell at home regardless of the views of their boss.
