So che potrebbe essere una domanda stupida, ma non ne ho mai vista una simile prima. È questa la valvola per chiudere l’acqua nel mio appartamento? E se sì, da che parte devo girarlo per chiudere l’acqua? Grazie per qualsiasi aiuto

your landlord didn’t explain it to you?
Could be. Either warm- or cold water main valve. How is your domestic hot water heated?
Turn it clockwise to close it. You should always fully open or close these valves fully (e.g. don’t leave it half-closed) so that the sealing of the valve stem keeps working well. The valve might leak otherwise.
EDIT: Is your water meter somewhere near?
You turn it the way which screws the valve down (towards the pipe) to close it.
Try it out.
Close it and check if water is still available.
If it’s the stop cock (the tap to stop water entering the building), there’s usually a meter close byto check accurate usage for billing purposes.
