SIAE (Società Italiana degli Autori ed Editori)

SIAE (Società Italiana degli Autori ed Editori) is Italy’s organization responsible for managing and protecting the rights of creators, such as authors, composers, and publishers. It ensures that when their works—like music, literature, or art—are publicly performed, broadcast, or reproduced, they receive appropriate compensation. SIAE also licenses public use of these works, collects royalties on behalf of rights holders, and distributes payments accordingly. Essentially, it serves as a bridge between creators and users, promoting fair remuneration and supporting the cultural and artistic sector in Italy.
