Surely, just SURELY, "calda" should be cold, rather than hot? Just by basic principles of alike-soundingness. (Yes, I am aware this is not a word, but I just burnt myself for the fortieth time and I'm angry.)
And here, just as relevant, is another extract from La Bella Figura:
"What about flushing? Well, I've counted eighteen different flushing actions, most of them camoflaged, ranginf from side-levers, vertical levers, wall-mounted buttons and pedals to a cord hanging from the ceiling. For some time now, the fashion has been for a rubber hemisphere on the floor that you press with your foot. Only rarely does it work the first time. You generally have to pump away as if you were inflating a beach mattress. So if you here a rhythmic panting sound from behind a closed door, don't worry. It's not furtive sex, just foreplay to the flushing... There you have Italian bathrooms. Have a good trip into the bowels of catering. Come back soon, if you can."
