For the first time, Registro .it participated in Bari, at BTM (Business Tourism Management) Italia 2025, the Fiera del Levante.

The end of 2022 leaves us of an important date, 23 December 1987, the day and year when, at CNR-CNUCE, the first .it domain name, cnuce.cnr.it, was registered: exactly thirty-five years have passed since that date, which also celebrates the birth of Registro .it, boasting today more than 3,456,000 Italian-branded domains.
On 23 December 1987, the first of the domains of the national network, cnuce.cnr.it, was registered at CNR-CNUCE. With the first .it domain name, by delegation of the American IANA (Internet Assigned Numbers Authority), Registro .it, the registry of .it domain managed - from the outset - by the Institute of Informatics and Telematics of CNR in Pisa (CNR-IIT), heir of the CNUCE, was also born, by virtue of the technical and scientific skills acquired by its researchers.
The new contract for the three-year period 2022-2025 that Registrars must sign with the Registro is now available. Many new features have been introduced, starting from the registration and maintenance of "gov.it" domain names, through the obligation to sign the code of Conduct, to the cancellation of .it domains by Registrars upon request of the Registro, in case of "obviously incorrect" data and an untraceable Registrant.

The new headquarters of Registro .it were inaugurated in the CNR Pisa Research Area, which, for the first time, has its own "home" in the place where it was born about 33 years ago. The innovative structure, which will host about 70 researchers and collaborators of Registro .it, is among the best examples of public sustainable building, and has earned the classification of "Almost Zero Energy Building". This very high energy performance structure has already won the "2018 Sustainable Development Award", promoted by the Foundation for Sustainable Development and Ecomondo.
We inform you that, as of 20 September 2019:
On July 27 the new ARP portal for the new Registrars’ accreditation was published: it has a new look, there are some improved existing functions and above all there is a new function of accreditation for the registration through DNSSEC. The Domain Name System Security Extensions (DNSSEC) guarantees the security and the reliability of the information of the DNS systems (this protocol, through the use of names, and not numbers, allows us to surf the Internet easily).
