Copyright

According to Article 25, 30 and 31 of the Italian copyright law copyright expires 70 years after the creator's death or 70 years after the expiration of publication of "collective periodical work, such as a magazine or newspaper". The creator Gabriele Galantara (Ratalanga) died in 1937, while the magazine L'Asino stopped publication in 1925. In other words the PD-Italy tag should also apply to non-photographic works. - DonCalo (talk) 10:44, 11 October 2015 (UTC)

Wikipedia is not hosted in Italy, though. In the United States, the copyright to Italian works expires 95 years after publication, unless the work was published before 1923 or the copyright expired in Italy before 1996 in which case the work normally already is in the public domain in the United States. If the artist died in 1937, then the copyright didn't expire in Italy until 2008 (which is later than 1996), making the United States copyright term run for 95 years from publication. --Stefan2 (talk) 10:56, 11 October 2015 (UTC)

According to the Copyright law of Italy#Exceptions and limitations "communication of low-resolution images and music over the Internet for educational or scientific purposes (Art. 70)" is an exception and consequently this diminished low-resolution version was not copyrighted in 1996 and is admissible. - DonCalo (talk) 11:38, 11 October 2015 (UTC)
