From "Domain Name Handbook", Jan 2000

Vaticano.org

The original registrants of VATICANO.ORG alleged that NSI prevented them from reregistering the domain name by refusing all attempts of payment and, immediately upon expiration, registering it to a Catholic association in Rome. Il Giornale di Brescia said the site had been active for a year and was almost identical to the official Vatican site, but with retouched content and "unpardonable errors". The Vatican also has registered the domains VATICAN.VA, VATICAN.NET, GIUBILEO.VA.
