It looks like U2 are very close to commencing rehearsals in Turin. The stage is nearly complete, although security around the venue has made it difficult for fans to get close enough to take particularly revealing photos. Pictures from outside the venue have been posted in articles on two Italian-language fan sites, U2Market and U2Place.

It looks like the general rumour of U2 beginning rehearsals this week is going to be accurate, but the specific rumour of rehearsals beginning today at the very start of the week is a little off. According to U2Place, the band's security has said that rehearsals should start tomorrow or Wednesday, and that U2 arrive in Italy today. Naturally, if rehearsals eventuate tomorrow, we will keep you updated on proceedings.
