The pictures are very helpful. The above pages are in Italian ... you can get a useful translation at: translate.google.com
Just paste the above URLs in, and google does the rest for you.

As someone who has done this it is simple:

1. Left trim piece simply pops off.
2. right trim piece requires removal of center and right vents (clips in top hold them in, use thin screwdriver to push down and pull out. Unscrew radio screws, pop off trim except far right clip, reach through right vent whole and unscrew clip from behind.
3. Remove rear console, then unbolt center console and lift out.

Got it all done, but i will NEVER do the center trim again. There's no need for 30 friggin screws to hold that damn thing together!! hahaha
