mariodataforge/italian-mock-data-free

This repository is a free sample of fake but realistic Italian data meant for testing software, rather than actual code you run. It gives developers a small, ready made dataset of Italian names, cities, postal codes, phone numbers, emails, and Codice Fiscale numbers, which is Italy's personal tax identification code, generated so that they pass the real mathematical validation checks used in Italy. The idea is to save time when building or testing an application that needs to look and feel realistic for Italian users, without a developer having to invent believable sample data by hand or wait for a real backend and database to be ready. The free sample includes a JSON file and a SQL file with a small number of records. The JSON file can be imported directly into a frontend project, such as one built with Next.js or React, to display mock user data in the interface before any real backend exists. The SQL file can be run directly against a PostgreSQL or MySQL database to quickly fill a users table with realistic looking test rows so you can try out your database queries. This free sample is limited in size and is meant as a preview. The same creator sells a separate, much larger paid dataset with up to fifty thousand records, additional formats, and extra validated fields such as Italian bank account numbers and VAT numbers, for teams that need production scale test data rather than a small sample. This is aimed at developers building or testing applications for the Italian market who need believable, valid looking sample data quickly for frontend mockups or database seeding.
