In February 2020, Italy has been the first country in Europe fighting against COVID-19. In March 2020, Italian government declared national lockdown. Until May 4th, people stayed in home confinement and only the so-called "essential works and activities" were continued. Like in other countries, both for the disease severity and for the risk of death, the higher the age of people the higher the risk. In the first months of 2020, Italy saw a very high number of deaths related to COVID-19, with a huge age effect, and there is an agreement on the view that there had been also an excess of mortality and on the role of mortality as a correct way to reflect the dynamics of the virus's spread. In this paper we briefly discuss the trends of mortality during the first 4 months of 2020 according to the data by the Italian National Institute of Statistics.
2020年2月，意大利成为欧洲首个抗击新冠疫情的国家。2020年3月，意大利政府宣布全国封锁。直到5月4日，人们都居家隔离，只有所谓的“必要工作和活动”得以继续。和其他国家一样，无论是就疾病的严重程度还是死亡风险而言，年龄越大，风险越高。在2020年的头几个月里，意大利因新冠疫情死亡的人数非常多，呈现出巨大的年龄效应，而且人们一致认为，死亡率过高，且死亡率是反映病毒传播动态的正确方式。在本文中，我们根据意大利国家统计局的数据简要讨论2020年头4个月的死亡率趋势。
