Registro .it

The story of Italy’s domain names told for the first time in comic book style. Leo Ortolani and Federico Bertolucci have created their own very personal account of the Internet in conjunction with the CNR’s Istituto di Informatica e Telematica of Pisa and the .it Registry for the CNR Edizioni Comics&Science collection.

Inside, the four past months - with events and news, the new portal on the agri-food sector and the updated data of the Ludoteca Registro .it - as well as some previews on projects and future events. A rich issue, with two new sections: a “focus” on the new Registrars’ contract and “news from abroad” on the Net Neutrality and Centr (Council of European National Top-Level Domain Registries) contribution to this topic, on the sentences of the European Court of justice and on the last developments of the Iana Transition.

Once again this year we'll be in the front row at the Internet Festival: from 6 to 9 October, at the Lumiere in Pisa, we're waiting for you with a jam-packed programme of events (all free) dedicated to small and medium enterprises, to start-ups, to rights and the Internet and to the future of technology and data that awaits us. See the programme of events.

The Internet Festival is coming back in Pisa on 6-9 October, a four days’ marathon with an only theme: the “digital textiles”, metaphor of the virtual world and its rules, will provide a background during the kermesse with hubs, signals, and connections that influence and mix themselves with the social “textile”, the economy and information. As every year, the Italian Registry will be in the front line, in addition to the promotion of the festival and the presence within the Executive Committee, with important events as .itCup, the business competition of the Registro .it, and "Bootstrap", organised by Startupitalia and Registro .it.

During May and June, approximately 20 thousand new .it names brought us ever closer to the goal of 3 million. At present, with more than 2,900,000, we rank sixth in the top ten European Country Code Top Level Domains and ninth in the world.

IoT, travel, open innovation and bots are just a few of the areas where the startups that have made the finals are working: a truly diverse group of companies on the hunt for investment and visibility, with the dream of flying to San Francisco to participate in Mind The Bridge's Startup School (prize offered by Fondazione Denoth).

Digital channel strategy, test writing, Facebook use for business and measuring results. These are the things that Annamaria Anelli, Miriam Bertoli, Gianluca Diegoli, Enrico Marchetto and Alessio Semoli talked to us about with great professionalism, passion and joy during the Digital Marketing course that ended this past 24 June. See us at Academy 2017 and...watch the video!
