The coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic disrupted the entertainment industry in Italy in 2020. That year, cultural venues had to close to the public for several months due to emergency restrictions implemented during the health crisis. Overall, the number of admissions declined sharply in March 2020 over the previous month, as the country adopted a national lockdown, dropping to roughly 589 thousand. As this emergency measure was eased in May, ticketed admissions rose during the summer months, reaching around 6.9 million in August 2020. However, admissions decreased again during the following months, as new emergency restrictions were put in place due to a rise in COVID-19 infections.

The source specifies that admissions include the combined results of the admissions with ticket and admissions with season tickets. Attendance refers to the "attendance of spectators at shows for which the admission ticket is not issued and concerns both the events where the organizer earns income (such as musical performances at piano bars) and those offered free of charge".
