Calling a plumber is expensive anywhere you live. With the current cost of living in Italy, I think you'll find that it's even more expensive than you think. The good news is that it's not hard to fix yourself, just google it: For example: http://www.ehow.com/how_2216692_repair-toilet-fill-valve.html or: http://www.doityourself.com/stry/h2repairtoilet or: http://www.water.denver.co.gov/cons_xeriscape/conservation/leakytoilet.html and many more... If you really can't do it, remember that you are in Italy; the land of craftsmen and artisans and of friends and personnal contacts. Just ask around your Italian friends and acquaintances. Guaranteed that one or more will have a friend, or cousin, or uncle, or friend of a friend of a cousin's uncle who can fix this for you for cheap and will then become a new entry in your personnal list of contacts. Try it, you'll see. It's fascinating to see this system of contacts at work.
