No more mystery fires, but odd holes in water pipes now.
Doesn't say if the pipes were copper or not.

MYSTERIOUS FIRES IN THE MESSINESE: NEW ONES REOPEN CASE
(AGI) - Messina, 21 October - The arrival of experts from the Region
and from Civil Protection is expected in Canneto di Caronia, the small
town on the Tyrrhenian coast of the Province of Messina, where new
phenomena have revived worries of people who from January to April
were forced to leave their houses due to spontaneous combustions that
remain mysterious. Over the last days the residents have Canneto have
reported to the Carabinieri that there have been spontaneous holes
appearing in eight water pipes in three different houses. The items
have been impounded and Carabinieri are on site, as happened in the
months of the strange fires that happened mainly in furniture,
household equipment and electric items although there was a total lack
of current. The piercing of tubes, said the expert chosen by the
people of Caronia, Franco Valenti, is a phenomenon easily explicable
in terms of a cathode current that, not finding an outlet via an
electric item, heads towards the water pipes thus causing an effect
called the partridge eye." Caronia spokesman, Nino Pezzino, prefers at
the moment not to make statements before the arrival of the experts.
