Yes. but only for the initial connection exactly the same as the UK except by default they only give a basic supply on a bit of wet string and incrementally charge for anything better.

Italy has a 3kW more or less universally, but in some old cities you might only get 1.5kW.

6kW is usually the most you'll get for a one off payment of a few hundred Euros, 10kW and 15kW being options above that for a few thousand Euros.

Up to 25kW is possible on a single phase domestic supply with a huge leadtime, any more than that and its three phase commercial tarriffs.

To get 25kW as you would with a standard UK domestic supply it can easily cost

1000 euros per kW, often more, with voltage drops right to the very limits quite normal.

You also pay a different unit charge by supply capability and a different charge by time of day.

If you can cope with the intermittency and have the space then a 30kWp solar ground array is cheaper to install as a standalone system. Add a couple of dozen Tesla powerwalls and its almost like being in England :)
