Monica Bellucci.
How we handle images, clips and third-party media.

Licensed photographs, credited photographers.

We use only photographs published under a Creative Commons or other permissive licence, with the photographer credited in full beneath every image.

We are a fan archive, not a stock photo library. Every photograph of Monica Bellucci on this site is either (a) published under a Creative Commons or comparable permissive licence, with the photographer credited and the original source linked; (b) properly licensed via a paid agreement; or (c) used as a brief editorial excerpt for commentary, criticism or review, with credit and at modest resolution.

Where our photographs come from

At the time of writing, every Bellucci photograph on this site is sourced from Wikimedia Commons, the open-media repository operated by the Wikimedia Foundation. Files there have been uploaded by photographers (or under licences granted by them) that permit reuse provided the photographer is credited and the licence is preserved.

Photographers whose CC-licensed work currently appears on this site include:

  • Eric Nehr — portrait photography, CC BY-SA 4.0
  • Fred Meylan — early modelling-era photograph (Paris, March 1990), CC BY-SA 4.0
  • Georges Biard — festival photography (Cannes, Prix Lumières, Césars), CC BY-SA 3.0 / 4.0
  • Paul Katzenberger — San Sebastián International Film Festival, CC BY-SA 4.0
  • Rita Molnár — Cannes photo call, CC BY-SA 2.5
  • Manfred Werner (Tsui) — Women’s World Awards 2009, CC BY-SA 3.0

How a credit appears

Every published photograph appears with a small Image Rights caption directly beneath it. The caption shows the photographer’s name, the source link (usually Wikimedia Commons), and the licence pill. The four possible status pills are shown below.

What we do not use

  • Scraped images from search engines, social media, or fan blogs.
  • Unlicensed Getty / WireImage / Shutterstock / agency photographs.
  • Paparazzi photographs.
  • Private-life photographs.
  • AI-generated images of Monica Bellucci presented as real photographs.
  • Fake red carpet, fake studio, or fake portrait photographs of any kind.
  • Long copyrighted interview transcripts or full magazine spreads.

Film posters, stills and clips

We may, in limited cases, reproduce a film poster or still alongside writing that constitutes commentary, criticism or review of that film. We use such images sparingly, at modest resolution, and with credit where possible. Where no clear licence exists, we use a placeholder graphic instead.

Takedown & correction requests

If you are a photographer, agency, publisher, studio, or representative and you believe an image on this site is being used without permission, or that a CC-licensed image of yours should be withdrawn or differently credited, please contact us via the contact page. We aim to respond promptly — usually within a few working days — and to act on legitimate requests without requiring legal escalation as a first step.

Photographers whose Wikimedia Commons work appears on this site are warmly thanked. Without their generous open licensing, an archive like this one would not be possible.
