The short answer
The median build year in Italy is 1985, which is copper territory and sometimes copper with polybutylene in part of the run. Normal supply is 45 to 80 psi and under 40 psi is low, so a gauge on an outside tap settles whether this is a supply problem at all.
Sources: US Census Bureau, American Community Survey 5-year estimates, table B25035; normal and low ranges as published by Grundfos in its homeowner guide to low water pressure.
Italy has 1,369 occupied homes across 1 ZIP code. Across all its housing, vacant units included, the median build year is 1985 — the most useful single fact for working out why the water pressure is weak, because it predicts what the supply pipe is made of.

Of the 128 TX towns we route calls in, its housing is older than 86% of them, and by number of homes it ranks 113th.
What 1985 tells you about the pipe in Italy
Housing of this vintage generally means copper throughout in most cases, with polybutylene fitted in some homes built from the late seventies onward. Polybutylene was discontinued in the mid-nineties and is worth identifying, because its failures are sudden rather than gradual. More on 1980s supply pipe.
71% of occupied homes in Italy are owner-occupied, 14 points above the TX figure of 57%. It matters here because the run between the meter and the house belongs to the property owner, not the utility.
Median household income across Italy ZIP codes is $69,191, 26% below the TX median of $93,661.

Before calling anyone in Italy, check whether every tap is weak or just one. Normal supply is 45–80 psi and under 40 psi is low — how to test it in a minute. Whole house is a supply problem worth a call; one tap is usually a five-minute job you can do yourself.
