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.
