EDITORIAL ACTIVITIES
Any use for study or editorial purposes must be addressed to Mondadori Portfolio by filling out the form below.
If a publication license is also required, applicants should specify the purpose and geographical area. The license for the publication of images, with the exception of the Codex Atlanticus, is to be considered free of charge in the case of contributions to periodicals of a purely academic-scientific character and circulation, and which are also planned to be printed.
Applications incorrectly formulated, or sent in ways other than those indicated will not be given consideration.
The applicant will receive by e-mail a cost estimate, relating both to the costs of the photo reproduction service and reproduction rights, if the application seeks a publication license. It should be noted that this procedure is intended to supply images exclusively in electronic format.
Cost estimates which fail to receive a reply within 90 days of sending will be considered forfeited and the transaction cancelled.
We remind Applicants that the processing times of the estimate require a meticulous procedural process ranging from accurate checks on the handwritten material and all technical / accounting checks. So the response might not be immediate; in any case, we will send you the quote as soon as possible.
Unless otherwise indicated by the applicant, the invoice will be registered in the same name; prepayment is required. The photo reproductions will be delivered within 30 days from the date of payment.
The Library reserves the right to refuse authorisation at its sole discretion for reproduction of materials in a state of preservation liable to be damaged by handling.
