Why Pisa ? On 30 April 1986, Italy connected to the Internet for the first time from Pisa! At the CNUCE Institute of the CNR – formerly the National University Centre for Electronic Computing at the University of Pisa – Italy’s first Internet node was activated. A prestigious university city of international standing, Pisa reaffirms its commitment to research and innovation.
