IT

“IT” is the ISO 3166-1 alpha-2 code assigned to the Italian Republic. In domain names it signals an Italian digital presence: sites ending in .it are regulated by the Registry .it and must display a local tax code or company VAT number, guaranteeing that content, support and legal responsibility reside inside Italy.
Search engines use the “IT” geotag to surface prices in euros, opening hours in Central European Time and shipping zones that match the peninsula and islands.
Government portals such as governo.it, agenziaentrate.it and istat.it use the suffix to offer e-services—tax filing, digital identity (SPID) and national statistics—in Italian and, increasingly, English. For businesses, a .it address boosts local SEO and consumer trust, while GDPR-compliant hosting is provided by data centres in Lombardy, Lazio and Emilia-Romagna.
The code also appears in vehicle registration plates, postal labels and IBAN prefixes (IT60xxxx), making it a concise badge of Italian jurisdiction both online and offline.
