ITALIAN LINKS

Even if Italy is behind North America, its Web is still quite rich. There exists a subject list of Italian sites. Here we list the links that we use most frequently. If you know of any others that you would like to see here, please let us know.

For those interested in navigating the Italian universities' pages, all of them (I believe) have a web-site. Their URL is usually formed as www.uni[city].it. For instance, Rome's university "La Sapienza" (Roma 1) has URL http://www.uniroma1.it, Perugia http://www.unipg.it and so on.
