Theatre: audience expenditure by month Italy 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 809 thousand euros that month, dropping from over 19 million euros in February 2020. As the lockdown was eased in May, the expenditure gradually rose during the summer, reaching roughly five million 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.
