I 100% believe that people should be allowed to use their heat/ac as they see fit.
Having said that, the idea that people are going to get sick or suffer greatly if their home temp falls beliw 68 degrees during the day or gets cold over night is just silly.
It's only been the last 3 or 4 generations who have been able to have a consistent temp 24/7/365.
I get being pissed off that you can't use your own property, but acting like droves of people are going to die off or suffer greatly because of this is taking it a bit far.
Hotels and apartments don't generally have fireplaces. Same with trailers or even many newer homes - especially in places that are normally warm. Kind of like some cars sold in certain parts of the world might not have a heater.
I know that during the big winter storm of 2021 I was without power for 4 days, and the temps were as low as -2F in my area. My fireplace worked enough to heat our living room, but at night our bedrooms fell to between 37 and 42 depending on how late we ran the fireplace. People died. I can't imagine what people did that were unlucky enough to have just brought a baby home from the hospital, or that had their elderly parents living with them.
Also I don't think the main problem is the 68F - I think it is the fact that they are turning off the heat at night. It won't even be near 68F in the morning.
We're talking about Italy in October. Again, I think people are being a little hysterical over this.
