Starting from the next 20 Settembre, the € 500 bonus for the purchase of tablets and PCs will finally be available for the first group of users, i.e. all those who have a Isee under € 20 thousand.

If you meet the requirements for incentives in the first bracket, all you have to do is register on the Infratel Italia website, where you can submit your request for the bonus.
It will be the company itself to handle all the applications, and to issue a voucher that will allow you to buy a notebook for the school taking advantage of an incentive of up to € 300. Further details should be presented later, but for now one thing seems certain: this is only the first tranche of the bonus made available to Italian families. Incentives of € 200 for families with higher Isee should arrive by the end of the year. Good news for all students, who will be able to start choosing the perfect PC for their school year right now.
