40 Years of Internet in Italy: an Event at CNR to Celebrate!

08.04.2026

CNR is preparing to celebrate a landmark occasion: April 30 is no ordinary date. It was on this day, in 1986, that Italy made its first connection to the Internet. The first “ping,” sent from the CNR’s CNUCE research center in Pisa, marked Italy’s entry into the global network. An achievement that made Italy the fourth country in Europe among connected nations, after the United Kingdom, Norway, and Germany.
