English: Father Edgardo Mortara(right) with his mother (centre) and another man, perhaps a brother of Edgardo. Marianna Mortara (née Padovani) died in 1890 so this photograph cannot have been taken any later than that.

This photograph appeared in a programme distributed to audience members at the Guthrie Theater in Minneapolis. The Guthrie's Librarian and Literary Specialist, Jo Holcomb, wrote to User:Pacostein in an email: "Your inquiry concerning the photograph of Edgardo Mortara has been referred to me for response. The photograph was part of an exhibit sponsored by the Center for Contemporary Jewish Documentation in Milan. We contacted the center several times with regard to the source of the photograph and have never received a response. We do know that the source is Italian and that the photograph is over 100 years old and assume that there are no rights issues since we have been unable to get an answer."
The copyright situation of this work is theoretically uncertain, because in the country of origin copyright lasts 70 years after the death of the author, and the date of the author's death is unknown. However, the date of creation of the work was over 120 years ago, and it is thus a reasonable assumption that the copyright has expired (see here for the community discussion). Do not use this template if the date of death of the author is known.
You must also include a United States public domain tag to indicate why this work is in the public domain in the United States.
Note that a few countries have copyright terms longer than 70 years: Mexico has 100 years, Jamaica has 95 years, Colombia has 80 years, and Guatemala and Samoa have 75 years. This image may not be in the public domain in these countries, which moreover do not implement the rule of the shorter term. Honduras has a general copyright term of 75 years, but it does implement the rule of the shorter term. Copyright may extend on works created by French who died for France in World War II (more information), Russians who served in the Eastern Front of World War II (known as the Great Patriotic War in Russia) and posthumously rehabilitated victims of Soviet repressions (more information).
