What it requires
- You may summarise, quote or reproduce passages or parts of a work, and communicate them to the public, for criticism or discussion, within the limits that purpose justifies and provided the use does not compete with the work's economic exploitation.
- For teaching or scientific research, the use must also be illustrative in purpose and non-commercial.
- Accompany every summary, quotation or reproduction with the work's title and the names of the author, publisher and (for a translation) the translator, where they appear on the reproduced work.

- Open questions
- Does an aggregator's reproduction of a passage of an article, shown with a link and no commentary, serve 'critica o di discussione' and avoid being a use that 'costituiscano concorrenza all'utilizzazione economica dell'opera' under Article 70, comma 1 of Law 633/1941?
What this law does
The summary, quotation or reproduction of passages or parts of a work, and their communication to the public, is free if done for criticism or discussion, within the limits justified by that purpose and provided it does not compete with the work's economic exploitation; if done for teaching or scientific research, the use must also be illustrative in purpose and non-commercial (comma 1).
A summary, quotation or reproduction must always be accompanied by the title of the work, the names of the author, publisher and, for a translation, the translator, where those appear on the reproduced work (comma 3). Commas 1 and 3 have had their present wording since , when Legislative Decree 68 of came into force.
