This work is in the public domain in the United States because it is a work of Somalia , which has no existing enforceable copyright law or intellectual property relations, under the terms of Title 17, Section 104 of the U.S. Code and Circ. 38a . |

Per
U.S. Circ. 38a
, the following countries are not participants in the
Berne Convention
or
Universal Copyright Convention
and there is no presidential proclamation restoring U.S. copyright protection to works of these countries on the basis of reciprocal treatment of the works of U.S. nationals or domiciliaries:
As such, works published by citizens of these countries in these countries are usually not subject to copyright protection outside of these countries. Hence, such works may be in the public domain in most other countries worldwide. However:
Somalia inherited the UK Copyright Act 1911, but replaced it with Law No. 66 of 7 September 1977 . The new law was based on the 1976 Tunis Model Copyright Law and gave a general term of 30 p.m.a. for works. However, it also had a highly prescriptive registration requirement to obtain copyright protection, and no copyright registration office currently exists (if it ever did). Note: As per Commons policy, this tag alone is not sufficient. You also need to supply a tag that describes why the work is public domain in its country of origin. |

The
country of origin
of this photograph is Italy. It is in the
public domain
there because its copyright term has expired. According to
Law for the Protection of Copyright and Neighbouring Rights n.633, 22 April 1941
and later revisions,
images of people or of aspects, elements and facts of natural or social life, obtained with photographic process or with an analogue one, including reproductions of figurative art and
film frames
of
film stocks
(Art. 87)
are protected for a period of 20 years from creation
(Art. 92).
This provision shall not apply to photographs of writings, documents, business papers, material objects, technical drawings and similar products
(Art. 87). Italian law makes an important distinction between "works of photographic art" and "simple photographs" (Art. 2, § 7). Photographs that are "intellectual work with creative characteristics" are protected for 70 years after the author's death (Art. 32 bis), whereas simple photographs are protected for a period of 20 years from creation.
