Unfortunately, most Italian authorities seem to like bands such as the Beatles much more than the Stones: for instance, McCartney has been allowed to play in the Colosseo for the major and a bunch of other powerful and rich people without problems...would it be the same for the Stones? Boh...
Anyway, the stadium grass issue has been a tough one to deal with: I can tell that in 1982, after the show in Napoli, the grass of San Paolo Stadium had been completely devastated, so that in Napoli we haven't had big rock stadium shows for quite a long time, until U2 came in 1992.
