Fix your code, perhaps?

In essence, http://www.fondazioneantonioruberti.it/ariene/index.php
tries to redirect to itself, something which would cause an endless
loop.

Very strange, because I got the same result as you from the validator,
but I just requested the latter URL with the network monitor on, and the
request definitely came back with a 200 status.

Thanx!
Lynx, right.
It's just one step beyond.
We'll try to deepen this way.

It looks like the PHP script tests for the presence of a cookie, if it isn't
found it tries to set it, then redirects the user back to the same page.

If the user agent doesn't support, or has disabled, cookies (and the Markup
Validator is such a user agent), then this ends up with an infinite loop.
