More than 500,000 new names mark the annual growth of .it-branded domains, with an increase of 2.24% in new registrations and totalling 3,450,337 Italian Internet names by 31 December 2021. This is a very important milestone that underlines the importance of Internet presence as a digital identity, Made in Italy and economic revival, considering the Internet as the parallel dimension that has allowed the country to build, work and invest on the Internet, despite the pandemic and the resulting economic crisis.

14 November will see the experts of the Ludoteca of Registro .it, Giorgia Bassi and Manuela Moretti, hold a seminar addressed to parents and entitled "The Internet and minors: opportunities and potential risks" at the Istituto Comprensivo Torre del Lago, in the town of the same name in the province of Viareggio (LU, Italy).

On 27 October, on the occasion of the “Conversazioni sul futuro” Festival, the award ceremony of the National Tournament of Cyber Quiz, organised by the Ludoteca of Registro .it, will be held. During the event organised by Registro, the winning team, Grade 4 of Centro Montessori Lecce (school year 2018/2019), will be awarded.

The peer education project "Let's Bit!" will be proposed for the first time in an "insular" school, namely the R. Foresi high school of Portoferraio, Elba (LI), from 16 to 18 October.

"Let's Bit!" is a 2015 project of the Ludoteca del Registro .it, which decided to expand the network of its educators so as to make its training content on the Web and the digital world available to children throughout Italy.

Ludoteca of Registro .it – which for years has been committed to spreading digital culture and the right use of the Internet among young generations – will be part of Parole O_Stili, that this year will be held from 31 May to 1 June in Trieste. The event will be an opportunity to reflect on online ‘hostile’ languages and on ways to promote a positive and responsible use of the Internet. More than 80,000 students of different schools and age will take part in the event.

The Day of Solidarity 2019 – established in memory of Nicola Ciardelli, the major of Pisa who was killed during the Nasiriyah terror attack in 2006 – aims at raising awareness about the importance of peace, inclusion and solidarity. The Association Nicola Ciardelli Onlus developed 74 thematic projects involving the participation of the schools of Pisa, including tours to important places of the city related to specific topics.

Registro .it’s play area goes ashore at ‘Fosforo: the celebration of science’, which will take place in Senigallia from May 9 to 13.
