Art cities will be the most popular destination for those remaining in the country, while European capitals will attract holidaymakers travelling abroad, according to the survey.
Although Italians' plans seemed not to be deterred by the security alert -- and by recent attacks, such as those occurred in London and Stockholm -- extra measures will be put in place across the country over the weekend.
Italy's Counter-Terrorism Strategic Analysis Committee (CASA) gathered to assess the special plan on Thursday, and Interior Minister Marco Minniti promised tight controls over the territory, but "without limiting the citizens' freedom to enjoy holidays."
"We face a new terrorist threat that is completely uNPRedictable," he also said at a police ceremony earlier this week.
Up to half a million tourists were expected in the Italian capital only, and major events such as religious processions and masses would draw tens of thousands of people at a time.
An Italian Serie A soccer match was also scheduled at Rome's Olympic stadium on Saturday, adding pressure on the security deployment.
Some 3,500 police officers and bomb disposal teams with sniffer dogs will be distributed across the city, and especially in the areas where such events will take place, Rome police said in a statement.
Security will also be ramped up around the city's major train stations, airports and port.
CCTV cameras, as well as checks on cars and heavy good vehicles will be reinforced in Rome's historic center. Some zones will be cordoned off to ensure freedom of movement and safety to those attending Easter celebrations, and vehicular traffic will be subjected to restrictions, police added.
