Thanks for your very interesting analysis!

I tried to search in the code the source of the data of the municipality in Lombardy, but they are linked to a local repository. It is possible to known the source of this data?

Thanks

Hi Lorenzo,
we found a couple of weeks ago that municipailty data are embedded in the html code of this webpage:
https://www.corriere.it/cronache/20_marzo_23/quanti-sono-malati-covid-19-lombardia-dati-comune-comune-ef06e70a-6cdd-11ea-ba71-0c6303b9bf2d.shtml

The webpage is updated almost each day with the new data, so it was not possibile to recover all the previous data. We stored all the daily version of the webpage in master/_json/Lombardia_comuni_html folder in the html files, and we update the file datiComuni.txt in the same folder with all the historical data we gathered.

Hope this can help
Stefano

Hi,
Thank you very much for your reply.

Do you store this data in the file datiComune.txt or it is everyday update with the last data?
