Italy
Overview
Two distinct populations register under .it. The first is Italian — companies, institutions, and individuals using the country code assigned to Italy, administered by Registro.it at the IIT-CNR since 1987. The second reads the string as an abbreviation for information technology, which has made .it a favored domain hack among technology firms with no Italian connection. Roughly 3.5 million domains are registered. Eligibility was widened in 2012 from Italian nationals to EU residents generally.
