On the proper use of Italy

Legal notice

Last updated: 14 October 2026. This is a translation for information: the Italian text is authoritative.

Editorial responsibility

Francesco Medici, founder of Vox Publica, is responsible for the content published on www.vox-publica.it and on the project’s social media profiles. Contact: contatti@vox-publica.it.

Nature of the site

Vox Publica is an independent editorial project of opinion and analysis. It is not a registered news outlet (“testata giornalistica” under Italian law), it is not published at regular intervals, it receives no public funding and it is not linked to any party, trade union or interest group.

Facts and opinions

  • Facts are reported with their source, given on the page, so that anyone can check them.
  • Opinions are declared as such and express the right of criticism protected by Article 21 of the Italian Constitution. They address public choices, acts and conduct, not people as such.
  • People holding public office are cited in their public role. Court cases are reported distinguishing between investigation, trial and final conviction. We do not publish identifying data of private individuals without their consent.
  • Content is for information only: it is not legal, tax or financial advice.

Corrections

Anyone who believes that content contains a mistake, or that they have been represented inaccurately, can write to contatti@vox-publica.it stating the page and the point at issue. We reply within 7 days. If the request is well founded, we correct the page, state at the bottom what was corrected and when, and publish the correction with the same prominence as the original content, including on the social media where it was shared.

Use of artificial intelligence

Texts are written, checked and approved under the editorial responsibility stated above; artificial intelligence tools may be used to support research and revision, never to publish without human control. Translations are produced with the help of artificial intelligence and checked figure by figure against the Italian original; the Italian text is authoritative. The videos of Ma dico io are made with artificial intelligence tools and say so: Salvo and Dentifricio are fictional characters. We do not publish AI-generated images, videos or voices depicting real people. Details on the About page.

Third-party images and materials

We use only our own images and videos, public-domain ones or ones under a free licence (for example Creative Commons), stating the author and licence. Anyone who believes material is being used in breach of their rights can write to us: after checking, we remove it or correct the credit.

Rights in the content

The texts, graphics and videos of Vox Publica are protected by copyright. Short extracts may be quoted freely, citing the source and linking to the original page; for journalistic reuse the conditions on the Press page apply; for other uses write to contatti@vox-publica.it. The Bodoni Moda typeface is distributed under the SIL Open Font License.

Advertising and sponsorship

Today Vox Publica carries no advertising or sponsored content. If there are commercial partnerships in the future, they will be kept separate from opinion content and always explicitly declared.
