No projects allow NC, do they? English Wikipedia hasn't allowed them for some time.
The Italian language wikipedia allows a plethora of licenses for images, included NC, copyrighted with permission (we ask the copyright owner to mail OTRS for this) and some cases of fairuse as allowed by the Italian law. We do also allow PD images with are not allowed on commons.
I am sorry to hear this, because this is a violation of Wikimedia Foundation policy. From day one, we have been the *free* encyclopedia.
The Italian community needs to work out a transitional policy to correct this problem... it will take time and a lot of work, and you will have to be gentle with people, but it is just not acceptable to have those images in wikipedia in the long run.
