Toilet Repair in Italy, TX
In Italy, about 57% of homes predate 1990 and roughly 29% of households rent. Both halves of this page apply to somebody here.
Short version
71% of occupied homes in Italy are owner-occupied and 29% are rented, which is close enough to even that the first question is which you are. A landlord is generally responsible for a fixture in a tenancy; an owner is not. Housing there splits either side of 1990 at 57% pre-1990, so flush volume is worth checking rather than assuming.

What the age of Italy’s housing suggests
Italy is a mixed-age town — 57% of its homes were built before 1990. That puts a pre-standard fixture somewhere around even odds before you look at anything.
Looking is easy, and it beats the average: most tanks carry a date on the underside of the lid.

What is actually wrong with it
Four complaints cover nearly all of it, and they are different faults rather than degrees of one. Running is the flapper or the fill valve. Nothing at all is usually the chain or a blockage. Water on the floor is four possibilities, one of which is not a leak. A weak flush is the water level, the chain, or the specification.
Two questions are worth asking whoever comes: which part they tested before reaching a conclusion, and whether anything under the fixture needs attention. The second one is what separates a repair that lasts from one that repeats.
