It looks like the issue was that, in Italy, copyright expires 70 years after the death of the author or the first translator of a work.

- JSeiko 5mo agoPG works based on US copyright law. And as I understand it that's also 70 years after author/translator death. My gut feeling is that if anyone tried hard enough this ban could probably get lifted
- robin_reala 5mo agoThat’s only the case for works published after the mid-70s. For works published before (which is all current PD books in the US), it’s 95 years after the date of publication, with a few exceptions where people failed to file renewal notices.
