In the price-list for rights regardingpublication, the current valuable consideration includes rights of reproduction for one photograph only, published in one edition, in one language. For reprintsand re-editions, please contact us. Thefollowing categories of publications are exempt from the payment of rights:"books printed in less than 2,000 copies, and with a price below 150,000 Italian lire, and scholarly journals". To claim the right to exemption,it is therefore necessary to state clearly the expected print run, the saleprice, and the place of publication in the application for permission.
