The number of cases also jumped by a new high of 769, reaching 3,858 over the past two weeks.
The latest figures mean Italy has the second-most deaths behind China, where the new virus was first detected at the end of last year.
All of Italy’s 22 regions have now been affected, with the data showing the virus had reached the Aosta Valley on the French border.
