Sorry, but things in Italy seems to me complicated. I can take a photo of a work in the public domain and licence it under whatever I like. But these is not the case. As I understand it, the propietary waivers to require a fee for commercial purposes with the condition to use CC-0. So, I can not licence my payment-free photo under CC-BY-SA, as the conditions are more retrictive. Anyway, there are a lot of photos now used under CC-BY-SA:

How to manege it? Those photos under CC-BY-SA will not be included in the lists? The new ones will not enter the contest if not CC-0?
Anyway, it is an important first step.

I am impressed - especially that CC-0, rather than the usual CC-by-SA. Italy seems to be a country of opposing forces in data - it's as if things are either locked up tight or totally wide open, and rarely in between...

Sounds great! Is this something that is public? Andrea, could you or someone from the team write a short blog post about it in the spirit of "what WLM can have for kind of effects" and how you made this happen?

Thanks,

Lodewijk

I would share with you this document (http://cortesi.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/05/simone_cortesi_pavia_wiki_loves_monuments.pdf).

It's a "formal" decision of the local government of the town of Pavia (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pavia) to renounce to the Italian law protecting monuments (D.Lgs 42/2004) in order to give to all participants of Wiki Loves Monuments the possibility to take photos of monuments listed in the document.

In addition this a permanent decision, it means that also in future these monuments are under CC-0 license of Creative Commons.

This is a first small success of the outreach activity of Wikimedia Italia within the Wiki loves Monuments activity.
