After entering Italy, the coronavirus (COVID-19) spread fast. The strict lockdown implemented by the government during the Spring 2020 helped to slow down the outbreak. However, the country had to face four new harsh waves of contagion. As of January 1, 2025, the total number of cases reported by the authorities reached over 26.9 million. The north of the country was mostly hit, and the region with the highest number of cases was Lombardy, which registered almost 4.4 million of them. The north-eastern region of Veneto and the southern region of Campania followed in the list. When adjusting these figures for the population size of each region, however, the picture changed, with the region of Veneto being the area where the virus had the highest relative incidence. Coronavirus in Italy Italy has been among the countries most impacted by the coronavirus outbreak. Moreover, the number of deaths due to coronavirus recorded in Italy is significantly high, making it one of the countries with the highest fatality rates worldwide, especially in the first stages of the pandemic. In particular, a very high mortality rate was recorded among patients aged 80 years or older. Impact on the economy The lockdown imposed during the Spring 2020, and other measures taken in the following months to contain the pandemic, forced many businesses to shut their doors and caused industrial production to slow down significantly. As a result, consumption fell, with the sectors most severely hit being hospitality and tourism, air transport, and automotive. Several predictions about the evolution of the global economy were published at the beginning of the pandemic, based on different scenarios about the development of the pandemic. According to the official results, it appeared that the coronavirus outbreak had caused Italy’s GDP to shrink by approximately nine percent in 2020.

Coronaviruses are a large family of viruses which may cause illness in animals or humans. In humans, several coronaviruses are known to cause respiratory infections ranging from the common cold to more severe diseases such as Middle East Respiratory Syndrome (MERS) and Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome (SARS). The most recently discovered coronavirus causes coronavirus disease COVID-19 - WHO

People can catch COVID-19 from others who have the virus. This has been spreading rapidly around the world and Italy is one of the most affected country.

Sample Queries

Dati Italia COVID-19: Which provinces in Italy have the most confirmed cases? Find which Italian provinces have the highest number of confirmed COVID-19 cases as of yesterday. SELECT covid19.province_name AS province, covid19.region_name AS region, confirmed_cases FROM bigquery-public-data.covid19_italy.data_by_province covid19 WHERE EXTRACT(date from DATE) = DATE_SUB(CURRENT_DATE(),INTERVAL 1 day) ORDER BY confirmed_cases desc

Sample Query 2

What percentage of tests performed have resulted in confirmed cases by region? This query determines what percent of tests performed are made up by confirmed cases. SELECT covid19.region_name AS region, total_confirmed_cases, tests_performed, ROUND(total_confirmed_cases/tests_performed*100,2) AS percent_tests_confirmed_cases FROM bigquery-public-data.covid19_italy.data_by_region covid19 WHERE EXTRACT(date from DATE) = DATE_SUB(CURRENT_DATE(),INTERVAL 1 day) ORDER BY percent_tests_confirmed_cases desc

As of May 2023, approximately 25.8 million people in Italy were infected by coronavirus since the start of the pandemic. As the chart shows, about 60 percent of the individuals infected with the virus was under 50 years old. At first, most of the cases recorded occurred among older citizens, but, as the virus spread, younger people caught it in greater numbers.

Since the first case was detected at the end of January 2020 in Italy, coronavirus spread fast and the country faced four harsh waves of contagion. The area mostly hit by the virus was the North, in particular the region of Lombardy.

Coronavirus Emergency: Nation-wide Quarantine

10th Match 2020, Italian Prime Minister Giuseppe Conte announced the extension of Italy's emergency coronavirus measures, which include travel restrictions and a ban on public gatherings, from 15 provinces to the entire nation. Italy is by far the most affected country outside China with thousands of cases and hundreds of deaths.

The Department of Civil Protection of Italy has taken actions to keep citizens well informed on the spread of the virus while the country is in lockdown. The department has released an interactive geographical dashboard to monitor the crisis [Desktop] [Mobile] and is updated every day at 18:30 after the department's press conference.

This Kaggle dataset is created only to make it easy for the community to draw further and useful insights from the data.

This inspiration to put this data on Kaggle is not only to draw raw statistics on cases and deaths but to mine more useful data that could be actively used right now. How?

Leveraging the longitude and latitude information of cases, visualizing them with the distinction between old and new cases along with the temporal information would give better insight into the spread of the virus in a much-magnified perspective. This could be very helpful for the locals to avoid going through those regions

This dataset currently provides national, provincial, and regional data of the CoVID-19 cases in Italy. Check out the script to used to convert the original json files and the started notebook in the kernels.

The time-series data starts from 24th February 2020 till the epidemic ends.

Background: Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) is currently a global public health threat. Outside of China, Italy is one of the countries suffering the most with the COVID-19 epidemic. It is important to predict the epidemic trend of the COVID-19 epidemic in Italy to help develop public health strategies.Methods: We used time-series data of COVID-19 from Jan 22 2020 to Apr 02 2020. An infectious disease dynamic extended susceptible-infected-removed (eSIR) model, which covers the effects of different intervention measures in dissimilar periods, was applied to estimate the epidemic trend in Italy. The basic reproductive number was estimated using Markov Chain Monte Carlo methods and presented using the resulting posterior mean and 95% credible interval (CI). Hunan, with a similar total population number to Italy, was used as a comparative item.Results: In the eSIR model, we estimated that the mean of basic reproductive number for COVID-19 was 4.34 (95% CI, 3.04–6.00) in Italy and 3.16 (95% CI, 1.73–5.25) in Hunan. There would be a total of 182 051 infected cases (95%CI:116 114–274 378) under the current country blockade and the endpoint would be Aug 05 in Italy.Conclusion: Italy's current strict measures can efficaciously prevent the further spread of COVID-19 and should be maintained. Necessary strict public health measures should be implemented as soon as possible in other European countries with a high number of COVID-19 cases. The most effective strategy needs to be confirmed in further studies.
