In related economic news, a plea for more specific measures to support recovery came from the Italian tourism sector.
"Without new measures, any restart will be difficult," the National Federation of Travels and Tourism (Federturismo Confindustria), a branch of Italy's largest business group Confindustria, said in a statement.
Federturismo warned the provisions contained in a Relaunch Decree passed by the Italian government lately were insufficient to allow tourism businesses to relaunch.
Instead, some of them -- such as a financial bonus aimed at encouraging Italians to spend their holidays in the country -- risked to further exacerbate their problems.
"It is unacceptable to ask operators -- at a time in which they are in great need for liquidity -- to anticipate 80 percent (of costs) to the customer," Federturismo leader Marina Lalli said.
She added businesses in the sector would also need further cuts of regional and national taxes.
In addition, on Wednesday, Italy's Banking Association (ABI) stated the number of applications from micro, small, and medium businesses for accessing loans backed by the state's Guarantee Fund grew to almost 400,000.
