As a student in one of the main universities in northern Italy, I can tell you the lessons are provided through the open source platform BigBlueButton. Student/teacher personal sessions although seem to rely primarily on skype.

Strange, a BBC news clip I saw the other day had an italian professor saying they are all using webex.
I can't imagine how frustrating using that for lessons (so multiple connected parties) would be - it's hard enough to make it work with just two parties. Either the video works and no sound, or sound works but no video. Or just doesn't even connect.
Very unreliable from what I've seen.

did they show webex? or might it have been a 'kleenex' brand name issue? any video-conferencing is 'webex' to a lot of folks.

I'm teaching at University of Trento. At the moment I'm using google meet + google classroom.
Today my class was followed by 45 students, and everything worked well.
Yesterday I was unable to record the lesson, but today it worked. As a backup, I used Audacity to record the audio (the slides are freely available online)
