It's not public domain anymore. It's Italy's domain.

Companies should be more willing to stop doing business with countries that produce crazy rulings like this.

They could pay the (relatively small fee) before discussing internally and someone with 'authority' saying "f... them, we use it and let them sue us!"

I cannot believe that nobody rang the warning bell about using some photo/material in the magazine, in the whole flow it takes from inception/decision on articles, all the way to the printer.
