Interaction Design Institute Ivrea
The domain of the institute where Arduino was born no longer leads to its pages, but remains alive in the hands of whoever took it over.
The Interaction Design Institute Ivrea was the institute where, in 2005, the Arduino project was born. Its old address, interaction-ivrea.it, no longer leads to the institute's pages: visitors today are redirected to an unrelated site, fcjohndoe.com.
The domain has nonetheless stayed active in the hands of whoever took it over: the digital certificates issued for interaction-ivrea.it cover the period from March 2017 to August 2026, 115 in total.[1] In Common Crawl's web graph, the domain ranks 6,009,364.[2]
