  We employ methods largely exploited in Physics, in the analysis of the
evolution of dynamical systems, to study the pattern of the Covid-19 infection
in Italy. The techniques we employ are based on the use of logistic function
and of its derivative, namely the Hubbert function. The latter is exploited to
give a prediction on the number of infected per day. We also mention the
possibility of taking advantage from other mathematical tools based e.g. on the
Gompertz equation and make some comparison on the different predictive
capabilities.
