Among the activities to be done during
summer 2020, compared to summer
2019, «going to movies» increased
(+6 pp.), an important result
considering that going to the cinema
has always been penalised during
summer. «Going to the museum» is
stable, while «discos» and «music

Takeout and opportunities
• Italy is back on track. Italians are slowly going back to normality but with new habits
• During a summer where the vast majority of activities will suffer from restrictions and social
distancing, going to the movies becomes an interesting alternative
• Summer vacations are getting closer, but few have already organised them: economic
issues and uncertainty link to Covid 19 and restrictions still worry citizens
• Mobility keeps growing, but at a different pace from North, Centre and South of Italy: in
Rome and Milan smart working and temperatures have a negative impact, South is back
to pre-Covid levels
• TV audience: positive trend with a double-digit growth also during this week with no sign of
summer negatively influence on trends
