Can AI read repubblica.it?
repubblica.it blocks PerplexityBot in its robots.txt, so Perplexity cannot cite it. Read live from the site's own robots.txt with Google's reference parser.
Perplexity cannot index you for AI answers (robots.txt blocks PerplexityBot).

From the census: This site was also in our 5,000-site AI-crawler census (Tranco rank 958, collected 2026-09-07). Its robots.txt blocked 8 training crawlers and 1 AI-search crawler we track at that time. Its llms.txt in that census was 2331 bytes with 38 links, with a blockquote summary. The same census found 19 malformed User-agent lines in its robots.txt, an invalid product token that silently becomes an unscoped rule. See the full pattern.
