Posso solo dire Solanum sp. non posso sapere la specie

Thank you brycegarling, Sukanya Datta, Michele Torrisi and Jellis for your help with the ID.
Jellis
Not sure which species but it is in the Nightshade family. Also nicknamed Blue Potato bush. But it is a wide family. Maybe someone can help more
