Knowing my Italian relatives in Calabria it will be off the supply from he lamp post that by passes the meter.
That's not unknown in Yorkshire.
Somebody I worked with in the seventies had an electric meter in a cupboard in the hall with a rotating disc behind glass, remember those?
He discovered if he unscrewed it from the wall and laid it across the hall floor, the disc slowed right down.
He put it back for the meter man.
