Italian museums offer digital copies of masterpieces to raise funds

Italian cultural officials are offering certified digital copies of masterpieces, including Leonardo da Vinci's "Lady with Disheveled Hair," to help museums raise funds. The initiative, by nonprofit Save the Artistic Heritage and partner Cinello, sells limited editions of nine digital artworks, with museums receiving 50% of profits. This project aims to create new income streams for museums and expand their global reach, with plans for a U.S. nonprofit launching next year.
