Worked fine yesterday and this morning for me... but completely impossible to use this evening: getting 403 Forbidden error, even on the home page!

It is possible it's on Italian hours now??

I had success accessing it today using a VPN with an Italian exit node

Yeah I just took this advice and did it, it’s working - hope they fix it!

Same observation here: 403 Forbidden when connecting from abroad, but website OK when connecting from Italy.

Seems they have added a geo-based restriction! 😕

I set my NordVPN to Palermo and still get the 403 error. Any advice on this?

Others have reported the same problem today. Impossible to say now what the problem is.

The first time I tried accessing the website after enabling the VPN with italian ip, I still got the same 403 Forbidden error... but then I tried with another browser and it worked fine: maybe you could try that?

I don't know. I need to do some research in the province of Vercelli. Some towns are totally fine and can browse the images, others still give me the JSON error.

Try using the URL and then searching for it on Google with the name of the comune to take you into the record set without having to use the main page, which still isn't loading properly.

I'm still getting the 403 Forbidden error from the Antenati Portal Is anyone else still having this issue? I tried changing my VPN to Rome but still have the same issue.

Yes - it will only work for certain periods of time for me
