• Does anyone know why Italy has been hit so bad? Just curious.

  • There could be a couple;

    • Italians probably go out and about more than most other Europeans during the weekend
    • Italians have a different understanding of personal space than most other Europeans
    • Northern-Italy is a hotspot for tourism (take Venice & Milan i.e.) so it'll see a lot of traffic and therefore increased risk
    • Northern-Italy is also the place to be to for any substantial Italian company, so it'll likely see more visitors from abroad in a smaller region compared to other countries
    • Italy is probably more strict / has started earlier in checking inhabitants and visitors
    • Not to be neglected, Italians are great in overreacting to a situation as well
  • You forgot to mention they really like pizza.

    I think there are reasons mentioned already in this thread that aren’t a list of cultural stereotypes too.

  • There could be a couple;..

    All of these are base on stereotype and as @Ramsaye said we still don’t know fully to why it’s predominate in Italy.
