do you have sources for that ? i'm extremely interested in understanding why italy seems to be suffering that much compared to other countries. If it's just a matter of being the first, or if it's also something specific to them.

As a side note - and JFYI - Italy's situation is very nuanced, as you can see on this map (divided by region):
http://opendatadpc.maps.arcgis.com/apps/opsdashboard/index.h...
In the North (and particularly in Lombardy) the situation is dramatic, in the center and in the south it is not (yet) that bad.
Basically the lock-down (started on national level on the 10 th of March) seemingly - and for the moment - managed to work to reduce the spread of the infection in other regions.
The previous lock-down (limited to some cities/provinces of the north) was only a couple days before and evidently too late to be effective.
