Yes but the electrical code allows this kind of converter if there’s a label like “1500W max” because most manufacturers are lazy and don’t ship a cable for the Italian market, they give the cable for the German market. So you have stuff like:
- Computer cables
- Laptop chargers
- Televisions
- Modern fridges
That consume like 2-3 A at max but for the manufacturer it was cheaper to ship the German 16A plug and fuck with all the Italians that have the houses with 10A receptacles

Yes but the standards are listed somewhere, so, uh, that’s job-done, right?
