I just wanted to add some more information on the squid caught near Elba. ([News]: Giant squid caught off Italian coast - United Press International)
According to this link (in Italian: http://iltirreno.repubblica.it/dettaglio/articolo/1357047?edizione=Grosseto)
Dr. Paolo Sartor of the Centro Studi di Biologia Marina di Livorno states that it was a Dimond Squid (Thysanoteuthis rhombus), a female about to deposit eggs.
