Italy Celebrates Internet Anniversary
On 30 April, the Internet Society Italy Chapter is scheduled to celebrate a major anniversary, marking 35 years since the countryâs first connection to the Internet.
On that day in 1986, at about 6 p.m., a network connection was established between the former CNUCE Institute of the National Research Council in Pisa, Italy, and a location in Pennsylvania in the U.S. Italy was the fourth country in Europe to connect to the Internet, after Norway, the U.K., and Germany.
The CNUCE Institute had been chosen to represent Italy in the ARPANET project, recalled Stefano Trumpy, the instituteâs director at the time and current member of the Chapter. CNUCE had previously helped design and launch the first all-Italian geostationary satellite, SIRIO, back in 1977.
