This address is announced by autonomous system AS15169, operated by Google LLC. The operator is a hosting or cloud provider, so treat the location as the network’s registration point rather than a person’s whereabouts; connections from ranges like this are commonly servers, VPNs, or proxies. Available evidence places the network in Italy (Lombardy); the confidence rating for this fix is low.

Approximate network region only. IP geolocation cannot identify an individual, household, or street address.
About this result
Is this location exact? No. The coordinates mark the centre of a probable area roughly 50 km across derived from network registration and routing data. IP geolocation cannot identify an individual, household, or street address.
Why does the city look wrong? Providers route traffic through regional hubs, mobile carriers share one address across thousands of devices, and VPNs show the exit server. See how accurate IP geolocation really is.
What is AS15169? The autonomous system is the network that actually routes this address’s traffic — often more informative than the map pin. What is an ASN?
