You could add a tweak to set left alignment for the markup:

%%SNIP

\version "2.18.2"

moveMarkupTest =
\relative c'' {
  \key c \major
  \clef treble
  \time 2/4


  R1*1/2
  -\tweak self-alignment-X #LEFT
  ^\markup   {
    \concat {
      {
        \large \bold
        {
          "Un poco Pi" \char ##x00F9 " lento, "
        }
      }
      {
        \tiny \note #"4" #UP " = 66"
      }
    }

  } |
  e4 b |
  b4 c |
  d4 a |
  a4 c |
  b4 f |
  f4 g |
}

\score {
  \moveMarkupTest
}

%%END

or simply use the \tempo command:

%%SNIP
\version "2.18.2"

moveMarkupTest =
\relative c'' {
  \key c \major
  \clef treble
  \time 2/4
  \tempo "Un poco Più lento" 4=66

  R1*1/2 |
  e4 b |
  b4 c |
  d4 a |
  a4 c |
  b4 f |
  f4 g |
}

\score {
  \moveMarkupTest
}

%%END

...which automatically aligns the tempo indication above the time
signature.
