"I am pleased that, owing in part to Google, the Italian Ministry of Foreign Affairs can provide innovative services to Italian tourists." Yesterday, the Minister of Foreign Affairs, Antonio Tajani, introduced the agreement between the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Google for the free use of ads with Google Ad Grants for the benefit of Italian users searching for their trips. Among the search results, Italian travelers will find the Crisis Unit-managed website www.viaggiaresicuri.it. Each time a user does a search, the Foreign Ministry's security information on each nation in the globe will be shown. This will be followed by an invitation to download the "Crisis Unit" app, which enables you to record excursions from your mobile device on the www.dovesiamonelmondo.it website, therefore facilitating emergency interventions. Diego Ciulli, Head of Government Affairs and Public Policy at Google Italy, stated, "We want Google to be a constant resource for Italians, and through this collaboration we help the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and International Cooperation publish authoritative content - primarily for the benefit of those who use Google to find high-quality information." As a result of the partnership with A2A that began in December of last year, the propagation of a culture of safety among individuals who travel internationally for business purposes has also received a boost. All Crisis Unit services are freely available to companies and people, including the travel alert online ViaggiareSicuri, with profiles on over 220 countries and territories that are constantly updated, the registration site Dovesiamonelmondo, and most importantly the new APP "Unità di Crisi." The totally free program provides access to both portals and enables you to geolocate to receive emergency notifications while protecting your personal information.
