SUMMARY
This research aims at collecting the various information about studies quantifying economic impacts of coronavirus, also trying to provide some interpretations on the short and medium term effects of COVID - 19. We try to deepen the impact of the crisis on our productive system, on the basis of quantitative data and examining various qualitative surveys carried out recently by the Bank of Italy and by some business associations. The research then focuses on the production reconversion strategies carried out by many Italian firms. Finally, we have tried to schematize some short and mediumterm post-crisis scenarios.JEL classification: H12
