This paper analyzes first and second wave of COVID-19 pandemic in one of largest European countries, Italy, to show how the first wave of COVID-19 pandemic had a high negative effect on public health that reduced intensity with the summer season and with containment policies; second wave of the COVID-19 pandemic, from August 2020 onwards, showed increasing confirmed cases but general impact in society seems to be of a lower intensity in society. This study can support best practice of crisis management to cope with future recurring waves of COVID-19 pandemic and similar epidemics.

This paper analyzes first and second wave of COVID-19 pandemic in one of largest European countries, Italy, to show how the first wave of COVID-19 pandemic had a high negative effect on public health that reduced intensity with the summer season and with containment policies; second wave of the COVID-19 pandemic, from August 2020 onwards, showed increasing confirmed cases but general impact in society seems to be of a lower intensity in society. This study can support best practice of crisis management to cope with future recurring waves of COVID-19 pandemic and similar epidemics.
