In the Italian legal system, copyright is granted automatically upon the creation of a work of authorship, without the need for any registration or formal procedure.

This principle, established by Article 6 of Law No. 633 of April 22, 1941, ensures immediate protection for the author, based on creativity as a personal and original expression of thought.

All works of a creative nature are protected, regardless of genre or medium: texts, music, paintings, films, architecture, theatre, and increasingly, digital or mixed-media works.

Legal protection also extends to works created with the aid of advanced technologies, provided that a human intellectual contribution can be identified an essential requirement for authorship recognition.

In an era where creativity increasingly manifests through digital languages and generative technologies, the question of authorship and legal protection has become more relevant than ever.

The blurred line between human creation and algorithmic production raises new and complex questions that touch not only on aesthetics but also on legal and identity-related dimensions.

It is within this context of reflection on the relationship between humanity, machines, and creativity that the exhibition “Artificial Beauty” by Andrea Crespi will take place, opening on October 23, 2025, at Fabbrica del Vapore in Milan.

Allavelli Law Firm is proud to be one of the official sponsors of the exhibition.

The show explores, through an artistic lens, the themes of beauty, identity, and the interplay between human and machine, engaging with the emerging visual codes of artificial intelligence and questioning the very notion of authorship.

This dialogue between art and law is more vital than ever: as contemporary aesthetics redefine creative languages, the law must ensure that works born in digital environments are recognized, valued, and protected.

For authors, artists, cultural enterprises, and digital creators, it is crucial to understand how current legislation can offer effective tools for protection even in the face of rapid technological change.

The Law Firm is available for legal consultancy in matters of copyright, protection of digital works, licensing and assignment agreements, and legal management of creative works in both exhibition and multimedia contexts.
