Something definitely got inside.

I highly doubt that the retailer is going to cover physical damage like that.

Worth a try anyhow.

As for asking for made in Italy. Good luck. Long gone.

I am not a pump expert but in an impeller type pump if flow is restricted too much or trying to lift past it's max head will it not cause cavitation and "not normal" water motion resulting in all kinds of water forces that could bend a shaft or break off a blade?
