We have then used such a function to study the potential evolution in time of the number of positive cases in Italy by performing a number of fits of the official data so far available .
We then found a statistical prediction for the day in which the peak of the number of daily positive cases in Italy occurs , corresponding to the flex of the fit , that is , to the change in sign of its second derivative ( i.e. , the change from acceleration to deceleration ) , as well as of the day in which a substantial attenuation of such number of daily cases is reached .
