Hello scottllm-ga,

The World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO) has a database
called The Collection of Laws for Electronic Access (CLEA) (
http://clea.wipo.int/clea/lpext.dll?f=templates&fn=main-h.htm&2.0 ). 
It contains texts in English and other languages of intellectual
property laws, including Italy's copyright statute and other Italian
legal texts.

I am certainly not an Italian lawyer, but my impression is that this
is the primary statute you are looking for:

"IT099EN - Copyright, Law (Consolidation), 22/04/1941 (26/05/1997),
No. 633 (No. 154)- Law for the Protection of Copyright and Neighboring
Rights (Law No. 633 of April 22, 1941, as last amended by Decree Law
No. 154 of May 26, 1997)"
WIPO: CLEA
http://clea.wipo.int/clea/lpext.dll/Folder/Infobase/2894a/298ee?f=templates&fn=document-frame.htm&2.0#JD_IT099

"Italy: Copyright, Law (Consolidation), 22/04/1941 (26/05/1997), No.
633 (No. 154) (IT_099) [Law No. 633 of April 22, 1941, as last amended
by Decree Law No. 154 of May 26, 1997. Law for the Protection of
Copyright and Neighboring Rights]
WIPO: CLEA
http://clea.wipo.int/clea/lpext.dll/Infobase/824da/824ea/82539?fn=document-frame.htm&f=templates&2.0

You can find links to this and related legal texts on these pages:

I hope that this information is helpful.
