Digitaly is a campaign dedicated to familiarizing small- and medium-sized business to the digital world. CNA, Italy's national confederation of artisans, founded the project in cooperation with Amazon, Google, Registro.it and the advertising agency Seat Pagine Gialle. More than 200 companies participated in the campaign's launch on 14 April in Ravenna.

Proposals were accepted until April for the Tutorial-Tours (T-Tours) at the 2015 Internet Festival, which will be held in Pisa from 8 to 11 October 2015 and wich will have as its key word #space: intended as a physical and virtual place including knowledge, investigation, sharing, identity, creativity and liberty. The T-Tours are the heart of the Internet Festival: an entirely dedicated area with meetings, workshops, seminars, shows and various types of performances, aimed at at communicating information linked directly or indirectly to the Net and the group of technologies included in digital communication and information.

The .it Registry has organised the 16th Centr Marketing Workshop in Bari, 26-27 March 2015, with participation of about 30 European Registries. The rich meeting agenda included such themes as the growth of domain names, an analysis of the market and communication strategies, big data and different governance methods in relations with Registrars.

Twelve photographers tell ten values of twelve successfull enterprises. Registro .it has selected twelve renowned .it realities of the international food sector: to describe them, twelve photographers of the Italian Institute of Photography have turned into images the values that drive them. The result is a photo that brings to Expo Milano 2015 the stories of those who work for a healtier and fairer food, in and out of the web.

Today sees the start of Digitaly, the project carried out by CNA, in collaboration with Amazon, Google, Registro .it and Seat Pagine Gialle, to bring small and medium-sized Italian enterprises into the digital age.

The site of the marketing campaign of Registro.it is online (www.unnomeunsogno.it). The campaign is aimed at increasing awareness in the use of the Internet, with a special focus on micro, small and medium enterprises, which are the backbone of the Italian economy and that can substantially benefit from a valid use of the Internet.

The set of characters admitted in the requests for .it registration has been extended: the IDN (Internationalized Domain Names) includes the 24 official languages of the European Union. With this new feature, the characters admitted for the registration of an .it domain are made up of all the characters belonging to the charsets (editor’s note: codes) Latin-1 Supplement, Latin Extended-A, Latin Extended-B, Greek, Greek Extended and Cyrillic. Not accepted are domain names that contain characters belonging to different charsets (Latin, Greek, Cyrillic), excluding of course the suffix “.it” and names and domains belonging to the geographic tree map.

Over the course of 2014 two new DNS anycast nodes of the Registry were activated, one at the Internet eXchange point of Stockholm, Netnod, and the other at the Internet eXchange point of Frankfurt, DE-CIX. Another two new nodes are being activated at AMSIX (Amsterdam) and at LINX (London).
