Site name and desciption

What is the name and the URL of the site you would like dezoomify to support ? https://antenati.cultura.gov.it

Why is this site of particular interest ? The more popular the site, the more chance you have to see dezoomify supporting it someday. This is the key website utilized by million of people when doing genealogical research in Italy

Example URLs

(https://antenati.cultura.gov.it/ark:/12657/an_ua112593/57PGeZQ)

Current error message by dezoomify firefox extension:

Describe the error dezoomify currently gives you when you try to dezoomify images from this site:

Oops, we have a problem An error occured while trying to dezoomify your image. This is probably because dezoomify did not manage to find a zoomable image at the address you gave.

Hello, Since the info.json file is invalid and the Cors policy applied, dezoomify can't handle these images. we can obtain the images using the browser extension downthemall by extracting any tile url then alter it like this:

https://iiif-antenati.cultura.gov.it/iiif/2/57PGeZQ/0,0,3000,3000/3000,/0/default.jpg

indicating the referer as : https://antenati.cultura.gov.it/ and download the images directly. ( the parameter 3000 might be increased but I think the images of this site are mostly less than 3000px).
