This photograph is subject tae the proveesions o Italy's Law for the Pertection o Copyricht an Neighbourin Richts acause it was either crautit in Italy or mey be conseedert an Italian wark within the meanin o Italian law (Art. 189).

Italian law maks an important distinction atween "warks o photographic airt" an "simple photographs" (Art. 2, § 7). Warks o photographic airt are pertectit for 70 years efter the author's daith (Art. 32 bis), whauras simple photographs are anly pertectit for a period o 20 years frae creaution (Art. 92).

Simple photographs are defined bi the law as "eemages o persons, or o aspects, elements or events o naitural or social life, obteened bi photografic or analogous processes, includin reproductions o warks o figurative airt an stills o cinematografic film" (Art. 87).

If this eemage meets the defineetion o a simple photograph an wis creatit prior tae 1976 an published withoot a copyricht notice afore 1 Mairch 1989, then it wis oot o copyricht in Italy on the date o restoration (Januar 1, 1996) an is currently in the public domain in the Unitit States (17 U.S.C. § 104A).

Acause Italy haes lang-staundin copyricht relations wi the Unitit States, some Italian warks micht hae a subsistin U.S. copyricht. In such a case, the warks in quaistien are nae in the public domain in the U.S. even if thay meet the abuin condeetions.
