MILAN (Reuters) - Telecom Italia's (TIM) <TLIT.MI> top shareholder Vivendi <VIV.PA> on Monday confirmed its long-term commitment to the Italian phone group, just days after activist fund Elliott reduced its stake.

Elliott last week cut its TIM shareholding to 6.97% from 9.72%. French media group Vivendi owns 24% of TIM.

"In light of recent events and Elliott's stake reduction, Vivendi confirms its own commitment to Telecom Italia as a long-term industrial investor," a Vivendi spokesman said.
