The two authors have been dead for more than 70 years, and the [[Copyright law of Italy|copyrights]] have lapsed; the work is [[public domain]]. Novaro disclaimed compensation for printing music, ascribing his work to the patriotic cause. Giuseppe Magrini, who made the first print of "Il Canto degli Italiani", asked only for a certain number of printed copies for personal use. At Tito Ricordi's 1859 request to reprint the text of the song with his publishing house, Novaro ordered that the money be directly paid in favour of a subscription for [[Giuseppe Garibaldi]].{{sfn|Calabrese|2011|pp=127–128}}
