I dieci siti più visitati in Italia.
The most visited website in Italy.
So of course, we have the same that the rest of the world has, right?
So such as Google, Amazon, YouTube, Facebook, Instagram.
But I think all of you know them, so I'm going to focus on the Italian websites.
So given that all of them end with .it, so .it, that's how we say it in Italian, .it.
I'll just say the name without saying .it every time.
First one, La Repubblica.

In fact, on the home page, it asks you cosa cerchi, cosa cerchi?
