The new Registrar contract has been published, with a duration of 18 months, valid from May 1, 2025, to October 31, 2026. Starting today, the document is available on the Registro .it website.
For the first time, Registro .it participated in Bari, at BTM (Business Tourism Management) Italia 2025, the Fiera del Levante. This event focused on the future of tourism, digitalization, and Artificial Intelligence, providing the perfect setting to explore the connection between digital tourism, digital identity, and Made in Italy.
Increasing the online presence of businesses, promoting the .it domain name as an online identity and a symbol of Made in Italy: these are the primary goals of the Registro .it, the registry for Italian Internet domain names (.it), managed by the Institute of Informatics and Telematics of the CNR (CNR-IIT) in Pisa. For the first time, the Registro .it will be present in Bari with its own booth at BTM (Business Tourism Management) Italia 2025, from February 26 to 28.
CNR-IIT director and head of the Registro .it, Marco Conti, is one of nine members of the Scientific Technical Committee (STC) of the National Cybersecurity Agency (NCA).
Marco Conti is officially part of the restricted 'Artificial Intelligence National Strategy Working Group', nine Italian experts, five women and four men, tasked with setting up the national Artificial Intelligence strategy, in partnership with the Ministry for Universities and Research, the Ministry of Economic Development and the Minister for Technological Innovation and Digital Transition.
Not only the pandemic strongly affected our daily life, changed our habits and lifestyles, but it also increasingly forced us to type words connected to the virus on our keyboards. The article published in Sole24ore summarises the data collected by the Covid-19 Domain Observatory of Registro .it and reports numbers, names, and rankings.

The implementation times of Brexit are still long; both England and European Union will not affect the currently relations until 31 December 2020.
Pending the definition of the negotiations, Great Britain will still be able to register names .it.
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.
The year 2022 is crucial, if we consider the renewal of the Registro-Registrar contract, valid for the next three years; this brings along several innovations, from the obligation of the Code of Conduct to the registration for Registrars of the SLD (Sub Level Domain) gov.it, from the possibility given to the Registrar to delete a domain directly upon explicit request of the Registro, if incorrect data is found, to the modification of the Registration Form, with a specific section for the accuracy of the domain assignee's data.
