FREEDOM FOR ARTISTS AND ART IN ITALY
ANY KIND OF NEW ART, BY YOUNG OR UNKNOWING ARTISTS, IN ITALY IS ABSOLUTELY SUPPRESSED AND KILLED BY OPPRESSIVE LEGAL RULES AND LAWS PROMOTED BY ANY ITALIAN GOVERNMENT OF PAST AND PRESENT TIME (August 2008).
No Italian political party of any kind has promoted FREE expressions of ART for Italian ARTISTS, but any Italian political party has done anything to enslave any Artist to their will. So specially the young artists have no chance to spread freely their artistic works to great public.
The main problems can be summed up in this way: LACK OF FREEDOM FOR ARTISTS AND ART IN ITALY.
The LACK OF FREEDOM FOR ARTISTS AND ART IN ITALY is maintained by Italian laws regarding:
1. the lack of spaces where to perform Art;
2. the lack of simple ways to facilitate the artistic performances;
3. the absurd legal authorizations to perform Art;
4. the heavy and absurd costs (about 30%) of SIAE (Italian organization for the collection of rights of authors) and heavy costs (about 35%) of ENPALS (Italian organization that collects taxes for pension and assistance for artists). Actually all the ENPALS taxes of young artists will be vanished, because ENPALS requires to artists a minimum payment of 20 days per month: this will never happen for young or unknown artists. They are very lucky if they can appear to public two or three times a year !!!;
5. heavy annual income taxes (about 20%);
6. the stops of political parties in the administration of Art (political parties of any kind are really the intruders in the administration of Art. No political person that is concerned with the administration of Art is really an Artist, so he or she can
Seeing the growth of this movement makes me believe that the silence surrounding our creative freedom is finally breaking. I started this because I saw my friends forced to quit their work just to survive the bureaucracy, and knowing you are behind this change gives me real hope for our future.

SIAE is a nightmare. Too many rules for just trying to play some music.

Ridiculous taxes. How are we supposed to build a career when the system takes everything before you even start? Italy is killing its own culture.
