Germany gave away many hundreds of respirators, took in hundreds of patients from all neighboring countries (including Italy). Italy was offered money under the ESM which they didn't want.

All that although the Italian population has a higher median wealth, lower taxes, higher rate of home ownership and lower retirement age.
