• Religion and Religiosity in the Time of Coronavirus: a Quanti-Qualitative Research During the First Italian Confinement · This article describes the results of a research carried out in Italy in the spring of 2020, during the first confinement due to the Covid-19 pandemic. The goal was to understand how collective religiosity was reconfiguring after the sudden change in rituals and ways of being a community. The questionnaire, disseminated through the networks of contacts and religious groups present on social media, collected 913 responses on a largely self-selected non-probabilistic and convenience sample. From the analysis of the results, it emerged that the respondents did not experience an increase in their religious sentiment, so much so that confinement did not question their value scale, while it strongly influenced daily life and interpersonal sharing, with respect to faith, to belonging and to religious practice, with an expansion of the mediated and mediatic dimensions of religiosity.
