Share of Italians who have not participated in cultural activities 2020-2021
A study published in December 2021 looked at the share of Italians who did not take part in any recreational or cultural activities in the previous 12 months. Overall, the nonparticipation rate increased dramatically compared to the 2020 analysis, with an average of roughly four in ten male and female Italians not participating in such activities. That is most likely due to the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic, with museums, cinemas, music venues, and similar cultural institutions closing for several months due to the restrictions enforced in the first two years of the health crisis.
