I'll post my Rome panel in some days, just for comparison.

And here I am.
Four measly breakers for 160 m2 apartment.
A "differenziale" (RCD) that acts also as main breaker.
The wiring is decent, considered also that before renovation both PE and the phases* were using G/Y wires :palm:
This was wired and certified according to code by a licensed electrician.
As an additional consideration: the standard contract in Italy is 3 kW (+10% overdraw), on a single 230 V phase*, so not much point in having tons of sections...
*In vast areas of Rome, there's no neutral wire. Both wires are live - coming from conversions of old 110 V connections to 220 V (just connect the neutral to another phase, and overvolt the transformer by ~15%).

Looks like lipstick on a pig.. at least it doesn't have wallpaper and dry wood inside it?
Whales:
I'm kinda disappointed that they didn't use some self tapping screws to tap the line. That way you don't even need to remove the insulation (TM).
I'd like to imagine that they wore thin disposable latex gloves whilst twisting those wires on (with at least one fingertip broken), but some of the small details make me suspect it was done intentionally as a joke (so probably fully disconnected for safety). Not sure if the piece of paper in the background is a shell prompt or a smiley.
PlainName:
I think it would have to have been done turned off since there is no way to thread the cables through the box without disconnecting them. Or remove the sleeve so neatly without access to the back.
Red Squirrel:
They should have at least threw in an inline fuse in there for good measure. :P

If it is compatible with D1 cartridges, try the Nylon tape (Dymo S0718050 D1 16958). Works much better on cable (when used flag style) than the standard tapes (even the "permanent") tapes. Other types of cartridges might also have that type of label.
