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.

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.

The first two cases of the new coronavirus (COVID-19) in Italy were recorded between the end of January and the beginning of February 2020. Since then, the total number of cases in Italy increased steadily and the country faced five harsh waves of contagion. The total number of cases reached 26,964,654 as of January 8, 2025.

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.

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.

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.

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.
