Abstract
[Autom. eng. transl.] Italy is an aging and aging country. At the same time it is a poorly digitized country, with a number of Internet users among the lowest in Europe. All this makes it particularly urgent to ask ourselves today about the factors that influence the adoption of ICT by the older Italian population. Given this context, the publication will address the issue of active aging and the role that ICTs have in the daily life of the elderly, starting from both the literature around (digital) inequalities and presenting two original and recent field and desk researches conducted by the author. The research brings out the role of ICT both in the context of the daily life of the elderly, and in the rhetorical and narrative construction that institutions make of it, in particular with respect to the role of digital media in active aging processes. An analysis with an innovative approach that highlights the benefits but also the risks that the elderly perceive and run in the use of information technologies.
