Man, that’s hard. When I go there I try to follow etiquette closely, it’s their custom and I want to follow it, and the woman may have been a bit of a Karen.
However, tap water should be free. Anywhere. Maybe I just hiked a mile to get there. Maybe I’m just thirsty. 7 euro to drink water is simply extortion of your tourists. If that’s etiquette then it’s wrong.
If you haven’t been to Italy, there are quite a few cultural differences to be aware of. One of them is generally you don’t make demands, dinner is an experience that you are there to have and they want to give you their experience. So it’s at least worth calling out that it could be part of the experience they want you to have.

Fuck posh etiquettes.
Let’s not name her Karen - she sounds badass. Fighting in court for water everywhere sounds good to me.
