SIAE

Italy's PRO and mechanical society. Though its EU exclusivity ended in 2017 (allowing other societies to collect in Italy), it remains dominant.

What SIAE collects

Performance royalties are collected by a performing rights organization whenever a composition plays publicly, including on radio, television, a stream, or at a live venue.

In Italy, SIAE collects public performance, mechanicals — Italy. SIAE was established in 1882 and reports approximately 100,000 members.

Joining SIAE

Joining cost: Free under 30; over 30, from €58/year (mandate tier) to €148/year (member tier). Royalties are distributed quarterly for digital; annual rounds for other rights. You need an IPI number — the global identifier connecting a writer with their works, without which registrations cannot be matched to payments.

Where Davincii fits

Davincii doesn't file with SIAE directly. Your songs reach it through the reciprocal agreements of the societies we file with, and its payments come back to us the same way.
