The current policy post immediate emergency was criticized by a top scientist in Italy just today (obligatory disclaimer: he is the head of the institute I work in, but the views and opinions I express here are my own), and in fact he said that the government is not thinking forward with regards to preparing the health system to better handle this pandemic. As an addition, not all the measures were correct to "fight" the pandemic in Northern Italy, where I am located. Glaring errors were made in putting patients within nursing homes, with "guarantees" of separation. Well, these guarantees did not hold, and death counts flared up there. To be fair, this also happened in all nursing homes in the country. Also some regions were more efficient than others, some even started implementing contact tracing in absence of a position from the government (still not clear as of today). I believe that a more directed lockdown (or avoiding errors like in Alzano Lombardo, near Bergamo, where basically a hospital turned into an "infection center") would've worked miles better than the current situation, where regions with almost no new infections are locked up as much as those with significant counts.
