If you're wondering whether the models are a bit... crude.
Here's IHME's projections for Tuscany - it expects no more deaths within a week.
And the mean projection for cumulative deaths is significantly lower than the reported number from yesterday. Max projection is out too.

This from the newly launched http://www.covid-projections.com/ - which allows comparisons of the model's changing parameters.
(BTW worth remembering that there are significant numbers of unreported deaths.)

It's not just Tuscany. The model doesn't expect any COVID-19 deaths in Italy in a week's time.
And it's projection for total deaths will be exceeded when the latest reported death figures are announced tonight.
(Unless I've utterly misread and misunderstood.)
