.it is the country code top-level domain (ccTLD) for Italy, and it is managed by Registro.it (NIC-it). Established in December 1987, this ccTLD is the fifth largest in Europe with over 2.5 million registrations as of January 2013. The Italian National Research Council (CNR) was initially delegated to manage the registry function, but later, it passed to the Institute for Applied Telematics (IAT-CNR) and then to the Institute of Informatics and Telematics (IIT-CNR). The .it domain is an open use ccTLD, meaning that registrants from countries in the European Economic Area, as well as San Marino, the Vatican, and Switzerland, are eligible to register. Large corporations with a presence in the EEA have shown interest in using the English article "it" for their domains due to its popularity.
There are no restrictions on owning a .it domain, provided that registrants meet the eligibility criteria set by Registro.it and ICANN. These criteria include being from a qualifying country or organization. Since 2012, Internationalized Domain Names (IDNs) have been allowed in the .it domain, enabling support for Italian, French, and German accents and characters. However, Italy has not applied for an internationalized version of its TLD. Registration rates have varied throughout Italy, with certain regions having higher adoption than others, particularly in the northern part of the country.
