Tessellis S.p.A. (formerly Tiscali S.p.A.) is an Italian telecommunications company founded in 1998 and based in Cagliari, Sardinia, that provides Internet and telecommunications services in Italy, and, previously had operations in other European nations through its acquisition of many smaller European Internet Service Providers (ISPs) in the late 1990s.

Since 2022, following the Tiscali-Linkem merger, the company has acquired full control of the retail services previously provided by Linkem (now OpNet), including the brand.

Tiscali S.p.A. was created in January 1998 in Cagliari by Renato Soru, following the deregulation of Italian telephone system. The company owes its name to a Sardinian mountain at which remains of an ancient village were found.

In 1999 the subsidiary Tiscali Italia S.p.A. was founded.

From March 1999 onward, Tiscali offered "Tiscali Free Net", a subscription-free Internet service where customers only had to pay for the time they were online. This pushed other Italian providers to repeal their fixed subscription fees, thus contributing to making the Internet accessible to the masses in Italy.

In November 1999 Tiscali, Franco Bernabè and Sanpaolo IMI founded Andala, which in 2000 was acquired by Hutchison Whampoa and won the tender for the award of 3G (UMTS) licenses.

On 25 March 2009 Tiscali launches Tiscali Mobile, an ESP MVNO on the TIM network.

In 2012 three subsidiaries were founded:
