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.
