Since the spread of the coronavirus (COVID-19) in Italy, started in February 2020, many people who contracted the infection died. The number of deaths amounted to 198,683 as of January 8, 2025. On December 3, 2020, 993 patients died, the highest daily toll since the start of the pandemic. The region with the highest number of deaths was Lombardy, which is also the region that registered the highest number of coronavirus cases. Italy's death toll was one of the most tragic in the world. In the last months, however, the country saw the end to this terrible situation: as of November 2023, roughly 85 percent of the total Italian population was fully vaccinated.

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, in the following months the country had to face four new harsh waves of contagion. As of January 1, 2025, 198,638 deaths caused by COVID-19 were reported by the authorities, of which approximately 48.7 thousand in the region of Lombardy, 20.1 thousand in the region of Emilia-Romagna, and roughly 17.6 thousand in Veneto, the regions mostly hit. The total number of cases reported in the country 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 counted about 2.9 million cases. Italy's death toll was one of the most tragic in the world. In the last months, however, the country saw the end to this terrible situation: as of November 2023, 85 percent of the total Italian population was fully vaccinated.

Covid-19

The Covid-19 is a contagious coronavirus that hailed from Wuhan, China. This new strain of the virus has strike fear in many countries as cities are quarantined and hospitals are overcrowded. This dataset will help us understand how Covid-19 in Italy.

On March 8, 2020 - Italy’s prime minister announced a sweeping coronavirus quarantine early Sunday, restricting the movements of about a quarter of the country’s population in a bid to limit contagions at the epicenter of Europe’s outbreak.

Italy Coronavirus Cases by Age group and Sex (ICCAS)

This repository contains datasets about the number of Italian Sars-CoV-2 confirmed cases and deaths disaggregated by age group and sex. The data is (automatically) extracted from pdf reports (like this) published by Istituto Superiore di Sanità (ISS) two times a week. A link to the most recent report can be found in this page under section "Documento esteso".

PDF reports are usually published on Tuesday and Friday and contains data updated to the 4 p.m. of the day day before their release.

I wrote a script that is runned periodically in order to automatically update this repository when a new report is published. The code is hosted in a separate repository.

For feedback and issues refers to the GitHub repository.

Data folder structure

The data folder is structured as follows: data ├── by-date │ └── iccas_{date}.csv Dataset with cases/deaths updated to 4 p.m. of {date} └── iccas_full.csv Dataset with data from all reports (by date) The full dataset is obtained by concatenating all datasets in by-date and has an additional date column. If you use pandas, I suggest you to read this dataset using a multi-index on the first two columns: python import pandas as pd df = pd.read_csv('iccas_full.csv', index_col=(0, 1)) # ('date', 'age_group')

NOTE: {date} is the date the data refers to, NOT the release date of the report it was extracted from: as written above, a report is usually released with a day of delay. For example, iccas_2020-03-19.csv contains data relative to 2020-03-19 which was extracted from the report published in 2020-03-20.

Dataset details

Each dataset in the by-date folder contains the same data you can find in "Table 1" of the corresponding ISS report. This table contains the number of confirmed cases, deaths and other derived information disaggregated by age group (0-9, 10-19, ..., 80-89, >=90) and sex.

WARNING: the sum of male and female cases is not equal to the total number of cases, since the sex of some cases is unknown. The same applies to deaths.

Below, {sex} can be male or female.

All columns that can be computed from absolute counts of cases and deaths (bottom half of the table above) were all re-computed to increase precision.

The spread of coronavirus (COVID-19) in Italy has not hit uniformly people of every age, as about 60 percent of the individuals infected with the virus were under 50 years old. However, deaths occurred mostly among the elderly. The virus has claimed approximately 190 thousand lives, but, as the chart shows, roughly 85 percent of the victims were older people, aged 70 years or more. People between 80 and 89 years were the most affected, with roughly 76 thousand deaths within this age group.

Number of total cases Since the first case was detected, coronavirus has spread quickly across Italy. As of April 2023, authorities have reported over 25.8 million cases in the country. This figure includes the deceased, the recovered, and current active cases. COVID recoveries represent the vast majority, reaching approximately 25.5 million.

Regional differences In terms of COVID cases, Lombardy has been the hardest hit region, followed by the regions of Campania, and Veneto. Likewise, in terms of deaths, Lombardy was the region with the highest number, with roughly 46 thousand losses. On the other hand, this is also the region with the highest number of COVID-19 vaccine administered doses, with a figure of approximately 25.5 million.

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.

Inspiration

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.

Objectives: To describe the monthly distribution of COVID-19 hospitalisations, deaths and case-fatality rates (CFR) in Lombardy (Italy) throughout 2020.Methods: We analysed de-identified hospitalisation data comprising all COVID-19-related admissions from 1 February 2020 to 31 December 2020. The overall survival (OS) from time of first hospitalisation was estimated using the Kaplan-Meier method. We estimated monthly CFRs and performed Cox regression models to measure the effects of potential predictors on OS.Results: Hospitalisation and death peaks occurred in March and November 2020. Patients aged ≥70 years had an up to 180 times higher risk of dying compared to younger patients [70–80: HR 58.10 (39.14–86.22); 80–90: 106.68 (71.01–160.27); ≥90: 180.96 (118.80–275.64)]. Risk of death was higher in patients with one or more comorbidities [1: HR 1.27 (95% CI 1.20–1.35); 2: 1.44 (1.33–1.55); ≥3: 1.73 (1.58–1.90)] and in those with specific conditions (hypertension, diabetes).Conclusion: Our data sheds light on the Italian pandemic scenario, uncovering mechanisms and gaps at regional health system level and, on a larger scale, adding to the body of knowledge needed to inform effective health service planning, delivery, and preparedness in times of crisis.

WHO: COVID-2019: Number of Patients: Death: To-Date: Italy data was reported at 193,743.000 Person in 24 Dec 2023. This stayed constant from the previous number of 193,743.000 Person for 23 Dec 2023. WHO: COVID-2019: Number of Patients: Death: To-Date: Italy data is updated daily, averaging 139,151.500 Person from Jan 2020 (Median) to 24 Dec 2023, with 1426 observations. The data reached an all-time high of 193,743.000 Person in 24 Dec 2023 and a record low of 0.000 Person in 22 Feb 2020. WHO: COVID-2019: Number of Patients: Death: To-Date: Italy data remains active status in CEIC and is reported by World Health Organization. The data is categorized under High Frequency Database’s Disease Outbreaks – Table WHO.D002: World Health Organization: Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-2019): by Country and Region (Discontinued). Due to some inclusions and exclusions of cases that are not properly reflected in WHO report, which are the result of the retrospective adjustments of national authorities, some current day “To-date” figures will not tally to the sum of previous day “To-date” cases and current day new reported cases. Figures with excluded cases are relatively lower compared to the previous day.

COVID-19 dramatically influenced mortality worldwide, in Italy as well, the first European country to experience the Sars-Cov2 epidemic. Many countries reported a two-wave pattern of COVID-19 deaths; however, studies comparing the two waves are limited. The objective of the study was to compare all-cause excess mortality between the two waves that occurred during the year 2020 using nationwide data. All-cause excess mortalities were estimated using negative binomial models with time modeled by quadratic splines. The models were also applied to estimate all-cause excess deaths “not directly attributable to COVD-19”, i.e., without a previous COVID-19 diagnosis. During the first wave (25th February−31st May), we estimated 52,437 excess deaths (95% CI: 49,213–55,863) and 50,979 (95% CI: 50,333–51,425) during the second phase (10th October−31st December), corresponding to percentage 34.8% (95% CI: 33.8%–35.8%) in the second wave and 31.0% (95%CI: 27.2%–35.4%) in the first. During both waves, all-cause excess deaths percentages were higher in northern regions (59.1% during the first and 42.2% in the second wave), with a significant increase in the rest of Italy (from 6.7% to 27.1%) during the second wave. Males and those aged 80 or over were the most hit groups with an increase in both during the second wave. Excess deaths not directly attributable to COVID-19 decreased during the second phase with respect to the first phase, from 10.8% (95% CI: 9.5%–12.4%) to 7.7% (95% CI: 7.5%–7.9%), respectively. The percentage increase in excess deaths from all causes suggests in Italy a different impact of the SARS-CoV-2 virus during the second wave in 2020. The decrease in excess deaths not directly attributable to COVID-19 may indicate an improvement in the preparedness of the Italian health care services during this second wave, in the detection of COVID-19 diagnoses and/or clinical practice toward the other severe diseases.

Background: Italy has one of the world's oldest populations, and suffered one the highest death tolls from Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) worldwide. Older people with cardiovascular diseases (CVDs), and in particular hypertension, are at higher risk of hospitalization and death for COVID-19. Whether hypertension medications may increase the risk for death in older COVID 19 inpatients at the highest risk for the disease is currently unknown.Methods: Data from 5,625 COVID-19 inpatients were manually extracted from medical charts from 61 hospitals across Italy. From the initial 5,625 patients, 3,179 were included in the study as they were either discharged or deceased at the time of the data analysis. Primary outcome was inpatient death or recovery. Mixed effects logistic regression models were adjusted for sex, age, and number of comorbidities, with a random effect for site.Results: A large proportion of participating inpatients were ≥65 years old (58%), male (68%), non-smokers (93%) with comorbidities (66%). Each additional comorbidity increased the risk of death by 35% [adjOR = 1.35 (1.2, 1.5) p < 0.001]. Use of ACE inhibitors, ARBs, beta-blockers or Ca-antagonists was not associated with significantly increased risk of death. There was a marginal negative association between ARB use and death, and a marginal positive association between diuretic use and death.Conclusions: This Italian nationwide observational study of COVID-19 inpatients, the majority of which ≥65 years old, indicates that there is a linear direct relationship between the number of comorbidities and the risk of death. Among CVDs, hypertension and pre-existing cardiomyopathy were significantly associated with risk of death. The use of hypertension medications reported to be safe in younger cohorts, do not contribute significantly to increased COVID-19 related deaths in an older population that suffered one of the highest death tolls worldwide.

Context:

From World Health Organization - On 31 December 2019, WHO was alerted to several cases of pneumonia in Wuhan City, Hubei Province of China. The virus did not match any other known virus. This raised concern because when a virus is new, we do not know how it affects people.

So daily level information on the affected people can give some interesting insights when it is made available to the broader data science community.

Johns Hopkins University has made an excellent dashboard using the affected cases data. Data is extracted from the google sheets associated and made available here.

Edited:

Now data is available as csv files in the Johns Hopkins Github repository. Please refer to the github repository for the Terms of Use details. Uploading it here for using it in Kaggle kernels and getting insights from the broader DS community.

2019 Novel Coronavirus (2019-nCoV) is a virus (more specifically, a coronavirus) identified as the cause of an outbreak of respiratory illness first detected in Wuhan, China. Early on, many of the patients in the outbreak in Wuhan, China reportedly had some link to a large seafood and animal market, suggesting animal-to-person spread. However, a growing number of patients reportedly have not had exposure to animal markets, indicating person-to-person spread is occurring. At this time, it’s unclear how easily or sustainably this virus is spreading between people - CDC

This dataset has daily level information on the number of affected cases, deaths and recovery from 2019 novel coronavirus. Please note that this is a time series data and so the number of cases on any given day is the cumulative number.

The data is available from 22 Jan, 2020.

Here’s a polished version suitable for a professional Kaggle dataset description:

This file contains data on cases and deaths by the new coronavirus in China and the first wave in Italy, collected since May 13. Due to the high amount of contaminated and dead launched in February 13th and April 17th, in China, we redistributed the data, maintaining the original shape of the curve. These data were used to build the epidemiological curves of the countries, aiming to enable the analysis of health management.

This is that Dataset of covid-19 of Total deaths and Total Cases in 11 countries (Australia, United States, Indonesia, Pakistan, Bangladesh, Russia, United Kingdom, South Africa, Brazil, Italy and India) for comparison that how covid-19 impact these countries from 1st March 2020 to 1st March 2022, Monthly wise.

Data taken from WHO Website.

Data is based on accumulation means the cases of previous month are add to the new month and in the last row of Dataset contain the Total of all.

As of January 1, 2025, Rome (Lazio) was the Italian province which registered the highest number of coronavirus (COVID-19) cases in the country. Milan (Lombardy) came second in this ranking, while Naples (Campania) and Turin (Piedmont) followed. These four areas are also the four most populated provinces in Italy. The region of Lombardy was the mostly hit by the spread of the virus, recording almost one sixth of all coronavirus cases in the country. The provinces of Milan and Brescia accounted for a large part of this figure. For a global overview, visit Statista's webpage exclusively dedicated to coronavirus, its development, and its impact.

The data are related to Tuscany and its provinces. They covered the period from 24/2/2020 to 15/6/2022 and they were updated daily.

Two tables were created: one with data from the entire Tuscany and the other with data from each province within Tuscany (AR, FI, GR, LI, LU, MS, PI, PO, PT, SI) and each medical district of the region (aslCENTRO,aslNO,aslSE).

Inspiration

You can perform an exploratory data analysis of the data, working with Pandas or Numpy.

Interesting visualizations can be performed too using, for instance, Python libraries to plot the data of the number of deaths, dismissed patients, total and current positives, recoveries etc.

It might be useful to plot the data in time, working with different date formats too and conducting a time series analysis.

Moreover, this dataset is very good to practice queries using SQL or Pandas.

Remember to upvote if you found the dataset useful :).

Collection methodology

The data were fetched from the following link: https://dati.toscana.it/dataset/open-data-covid19.

The rows from provinces were separated from the rows related to Tuscany region and some columns were removed from the catalogue since they didn't contain any data. Furthermore, some columns were transformed from floats to integers, missing values were filled with the integer '0' and the headers were translated to English.

This Project Tycho dataset includes a CSV file with COVID-19 data reported in ITALY: 2019-12-30 - 2021-07-31. It contains counts of cases, deaths, and hospitalizations. Data for this Project Tycho dataset comes from: "COVID-19 Data Repository by the Center for Systems Science and Engineering (CSSE) at Johns Hopkins University", "Presidenzia del Consiglio dei Ministri Dipartimento della Protezione Civile GitHub Repository", "European Centre for Disease Prevention and Control Website", "World Health Organization COVID-19 Dashboard". The data have been pre-processed into the standard Project Tycho data format v1.1.
