The entertainment industry in Italy showed strong signs of recovery in 2022, following the dramatic impact of the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic in the previous two years. Overall, the total number of events - including performing art shows, sporting, and other entertainment events - bounced back to nearly three million in 2022. While this figure denotes a significant annual increase, it remained around 30 percent below pre-pandemic levels. As the number of events rose sharply but did not surpass pre-pandemic figures, total attendance followed the same trend, reaching 204 million in 2022. That year, the total audience expenditure amounted to just above three billion euros.
