Monthly audience expenditure at theatre events in Italy 2019-2020
The coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic hit the theatre sector 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 and similar cultural venues had to stay close to the public. As a result, the audience expenditure in this sector stood at *** thousand euros that month, dropping from over ** million euros in February 2020. As the lockdown was eased in May, the expenditure gradually rose during the summer, reaching roughly ** euros in August 2020. However, due to a rise in COVID-19 infections, new emergency restrictions came into action in October, causing another significant drop in spending.
