The
country of origin
of this photograph is Italy. It is in the
public domain
there because its copyright term has expired. According to
Law for the Protection of Copyright and Neighbouring Rights n.633, 22 April 1941
and later revisions,
images of people or of aspects, elements and facts of natural or social life, obtained with photographic process or with an analogue one, including reproductions of figurative art and
film frames
of
film stocks
(Art. 87)
are protected for a period of 20 years from creation
(Art. 92).
This provision shall not apply to photographs of writings, documents, business papers, material objects, technical drawings and similar products
(Art. 87). Italian law makes an important distinction between "works of photographic art" and "simple photographs" (Art. 2, § 7). Photographs that are "intellectual work with creative characteristics" are protected for 70 years after the author's death (Art. 32 bis), whereas simple photographs are protected for a period of 20 years from creation.
This may not apply in countries that don't apply the
rule of the shorter term
to works from Italy. In particular, these are in the public domain in the United States only if:
This work is in the
public domain
in its country of origin and other countries and areas where the
copyright term
is the author's
life plus 70 years or fewer
.
You must also include a
United States public domain tag
to indicate why this work is in the public domain in the United States. Note that a few countries have copyright terms longer than 70 years: Mexico has 100 years, Jamaica has 95 years, Colombia has 80 years, and Guatemala and Samoa have 75 years. This image may
not
be in the public domain in these countries, which moreover do
not
implement the
rule of the shorter term
. Honduras has a general copyright term of 75 years, but it
does
implement the rule of the shorter term. Copyright may extend on works created by French who died for France in
World War II
(

), Russians who served in
the Eastern Front of World War II
(known as the Great Patriotic War in Russia) and posthumously
rehabilitated
victims of Soviet repressions (
