Lazio was the Italian region with the highest number of museum visitors in Italy between 2019 and 2022. While attendance in this region experienced a sharp annual increase in 2022, following a dramatic drop due to the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic, it remained below pre-pandemic levels, totaling 22.5 million. Campania and Tuscany followed in the ranking in 2022, with roughly 8.5 million and 6.6 million visitors, respectively.
