In this paper, we aim to critically review the Italian response to the COVID-19 crisis spanning from the early acute phases of the emergency (March-May 2020) to the relative stability of the epidemiological situation just before the second outbreak in October 2020. In what follows, we first briefly describe how the Italian Servizio Sanitario Nazionale (SSN, National Health Services) is organised and the preparedness of the SSN before the epidemic started. Second, we describe the governance of the emergency set up by the government.

Una ricostruzione del diverso assetto sanitario, economico, residenziale, regionale e istituzionale dopo la pandemia

Background: The actual SARS-CoV-2 outbreak caused a highly transmissible disease with a tremendous impact on elderly people. So far, few studies focused on very elderly patients (over 80 years old). In this study we examined the clinical presentation and the outcome of the disease in this group of patients, admitted to our Hospital in Rome. Methods: This is a single-center, retrospective study performed in the Sant’Andrea University Hospital of Rome.

We propose CORONNA, a deep framework for epidemic prediction to analyse the spread of COVID-19 and, potentially, of other unknown viruses, based on a flexible integration of sequential and convolutional components. Importantly, our framework is general and can be specialised according to different analysis objectives. In this paper, the specific purpose is to optimise CORONNA for analysing the impact of different mobility containment policies on the epidemic.

Il lavoro verte sull’impatto dell’emergenza sanitaria sugli equilibri della programmazione televisiva italiana. A partire dalla fine di febbraio 2020 la scena pubblica mediale si è improvvisamente svuotato da opinionisti e spettacoli, per lasciar spazio allo spettacolo della paura e della sofferenza, in cui l’ombra della morte diventa contenuto pregiato per la televisione italiana, trovata impreparata ad affrontare con piena competenza gli aspetti complessi della comunicazione scientifica intorno all’epidemia da Coronavirus.

The Lombardy region suffered severely during the acute phase of the coronavirus diease 2019 outbreak in Italy (Mar-Apr 2020) with 16,000 diagnosed coronavirus disease 2019-related deaths (49% of the total coronavirus disease 2019-related deaths in Italy). In the area surrounding Pavia during the critical stage of the outbreak (Mar-Apr 2020), 1,225 of the documented 4,200 deaths were related to coronavirus disease 2019 infection, with a mortality rate of 181/100,000 inhabitants and an increase in deaths of 138% compared with the same period during previous years.
