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).

Picture description Framed drawing of the so-called "Tower of Marzocco". The tower is a 54 m high, octagonal renaissance-tower at the port entrance of the harbour of Livorno (Region Tuscany). The tower was constructed in the mid of the 15th century for military purposes on the ruins of an older tower from Roman times. There are different opinions about the designer of this tower. The 8 faces of this tower are perfectly orientated to the different directions of the wind. The "Marzocco" was originally a bronze statue of a lion as symbol of power which topped the tower until 1729, as he was stricken and destroyed by a lightning.
