The coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic hit the entertainment industry in Italy hard in 2020. At the beginning of March 2020, as the country adopted a national lockdown to limit the spread of the virus, theatres, music venues, and similar cultural facilities had to stay close to the public. As a result, the expenditure at the box office and the audience expenditure dropped sharply that month, reaching around four million euros and 15 million euros, respectively. As the lockdown was eased in May, both figures gradually rose during the summer, though staying way below pre-pandemic levels. Due to a rise in COVID-19 infections, new emergency restrictions came into action in October, causing another significant drop in spending over the last months of 2020.
