Similarly to a recent question on lockdowns, wonder if there is a machine-readable dataset of covid-19 testing per country/state/region. Testing rate largely affects the official number of infected, and thus of apparent fatality (Case Fatality Ratio). This data would be needed to explain mortality differences between region/nations.

OurWorldInDate site (that has excellent coverage of data around the pandemic) has asked the question two weeks ago
https://ourworldindata.org/covid-testing
and now provide an answer:
https://github.com/owid/covid-19-data/tree/master/public/data/testing
Data for Italy: https://github.com/pcm-dpc/COVID-19/tree/master/dati-andamento-nazionale
You just need the file: dpc-covid19-ita-andamento-nazionale.csv
It is updated every day in the evening (gmt+1)
