Air pollution kills 82,000 to 84,000 Italians every year.
While deaths attributed to COVID-19 number 32,486.

@sda None, pollution alone in italy has never overloaded their ICU beyond capacity. COVID did.
It is of course no surprise that pollution is higher in heavily populated areas, which is also where disease will spread more readily...
32K deaths over months comparable to 82K over a whole year is not something that would be misattributed, and obviously was not. Between the two you are talking about a nearly doubling odf death count overall.
