wifi.italia.it

Wifi.italia.it is the APP that will allow you to connect to the hotspots of all the free Italian WiFi networks that adhere to the national project promoted by the Ministry of Economic Development. By downloading APP and logging in for a minute, you will be able to connect automatically as soon as your smartphone detects the presence of a Hot Spot on a federated network near you. With APP you no longer need to fill out forms and input pages to access networks because your smarthpone will warn you with a notification that you are already connected. Just as it does with home or office WiFi networks. With simple TAP notification you can open the APP and see some content that the network hosting you at that time decided to make it available. With future versions, we want to make this APP a platform that is becoming more and more complete and simple to give all citizens or gamers not only the internet vanilla service but many other content and services that the administrations and participating institutions will put in arrangement. Check on the APP map of the hot spots and networks that have been federated and integrated so far and see if there is someone close to you. The project starts in the summer of 2017, and the coverage of the integrated network will become even bigger thanks to the users' urge for networks and public institutions in their cities to enter the project. The wifi.italia.it project In 2016, the protocol "For the dissemination of intelligent platforms to the service of tourists on Italian territory" was signed by the Ministry of Economic Development, the Ministry of Cultural Heritage and Activities and the Agency for the Promotion Digital Italy. The Protocol intends to promote, activate and develop innovation processes aimed at the creation of a digital ecosystem of tourism capable, on the one hand, of facilitating the access of citizens and visitors to the artistic, natural and cultural heritage distributed throughout the territory National, on the other, to create a fertile environment for the private sector in which to develop value-added applications and services.

The expected result is the realization of a comprehensive project based on widespread connectivity and services to the citizen able to:
• Join all public networks to have a unique and easy Wi-Fi access system available to citizens and tourists
• Grow the Wi-Fi access network, especially in the areas of tourism and culture. • Make use of the access network to enrich the tourism ecosystem data (tracing of tourist movements, preferences, behaviors, etc.)

A central role in this overall project will be played by APP wifi.italia.it, which will allow all users, both Italian and foreign, to access in a transparent and immediate way to the entire network federation and to enjoy the content and services of the ' ecosystem

Tourism that will be made available. To support the startup phase of this project, you will be implementing the Access APP. The registration system (which will be provided for different Italian citizens and foreign tourists) will be integrated with SPID and the Tourist Node. The federation phase of wireless networks will be preceded by the drafting of dedicated agreements with the participating parties.

Useless for tourists
Dissatisfied

This app is pointless. The reason I want access to WiFi is that I don’t have cellular service. But, I need cellular service to receive a sms text to sign up. Why can’t they send me an email? Someone really didn’t think this through, very disappointing.

Not getting verification code

Can't register my US phone. Not receiving the verification code.

Garbage

Can’t receive the verification code.. trash

Illogical
Laura from Poulsbo

I tried to sign up, and for the last step they want to send a confirmation code to me via SMS. I don’t have cellular service to receive that code — that’s the reason I’m trying to get WiFi. Ugh.

SMS does not work

SMS verification code does not come through to (at least) American phones.

You just have to enter 1 as the prefix
The One and only Maan

I was able to access the system from the US and get the app ready to connect. At first I thought I was getting the same issue as everyone else with being unable to get the confirmation code, but I changed the country code from the typical +01 or +001 to just ‘1’ and I got my core fine. I’ll return to review when I get to Italy!
