The neighbouring right is a right arising from the use of recordings of cinematographic, audiovisual or assimilated works or music works containing a performance by one or more artists

The neighbouring right is not the copyright (in Italy managed by SIAE), neither is it the image usage right (managed personally by artists). The neighbouring right is due to the individual that materially interprets or performs a role in a certain work, not to the individual that wrote it or conceived it or the individuals that appear in it unless they are also performers.

  Nuovo IMAIE’s right holders are performing artists (or their heirs) that perform an important role in a reused work, accruing therefore a remuneration paid by Nuovo IMAIE
