It's the only way to have some images in the italian articles. We have a lot of restrictive legislations and we can't use the fair use. For example, we can go in a museum and take some pictures of a painting but, we can't publish into wikipedia without the permission of the "sovraintendenza ai beni culturali"; some days ago the "sovraintendenza ai beni culturali" of florance have threated us for the photos of some painting and ohter kind of arts taked into the florence's museums; perhaps will be a problem also for commons.
I would suggest that you investigate the "sovraintendenza ai beni culturali"'s right to do this. If I, as a foreign tourist, chose to go to the museum, take pictures of old masters' works, and upload them into commons when I got home, I don't think there's much they can do about it.
