Virgilio was the first Web portal in Italy. Born in 1996 as a search engine and Web directory manually edited by its own editors (Yahoo! model), has gradually evolved as a general portal with different contents, offering users Webmail services, a search engine, chats and a Web community. The editorial style of the early days still leaves an imprint on Virgilio, strongly oriented into providing quality news contents, organized into premium vertical channels. Local contents also have a great relevance, with over 8,100 portals, one for each Italian town. More information...
