San Marino, is also close to the Italian cities of Bologna, Ferarra, and in traveling distance to Venice. I would like to see Venice again since Season 4. Also other cities from Milan in distance of train or car travel is Genoa, Turin, Pisa, Verona, and the areas around Lake Como and Lake Maggiore too.

From Wikipedia
--- Quote ---Worldwide copyright claims
SABAM, Belgium's society for collecting royalties, has claimed worldwide intellectual property rights on all reproductions of the Atomium image via the United States Artists Rights Society (ARS) .[3] For example SABAM issued a demand that a United States website remove all images of the Atomium from its pages.[4] The website responded by replacing all such images with a warning not to take photographs of the Atomium, and that Asbl Atomium will sue if you show them to anyone.[4][5] Sabam confirmed that permission is required.[4]
Ralf Ziegermann remarked[6] on the complicated copyright instructions on Atomium's website specific to "private pictures".[7] The organisers of Belgian heritage, Anno Expo (www.expo58.eu, planning the 50th anniversary celebrations of Expo '58), in the city of Mechelen announced a "cultural guerrilla strike" by asking people to send in their old photographs of the Atomium and requested 100 photoshoppers to paint over the balls.[8][9] SABAM responded that they would make an exception for 2008 and that people could publish private photographs for one year only on condition they were for non-commercial purposes.[8]
Anno Expo later announced they had censored part of their own report due to "complications" and referred to a meeting they had with SABAM.[10] Mechelen's Mayor, Bart Somers, called the Atomium copyright rules absurd.[11]
On February 23, 2009 Axel Addington, Web Content Manager for Atomium, e-mailed a clarification to the Glass Steel and Stone web site, which some years earlier redacted its photographs of the Atomium after being threatened. He stated, "The royalties are perceived (sic) by the descendants of Andre Waterkeyn, the engineer who conceived Atomium in 1955, and not by the A.S.B.L Atomium. So, you've probably been sued by the SABAM (Belgian Copyright Company) because of the Waterkeyn Family."
From the Atomium's website, the current copyright restrictions exempt private individuals under the following conditions,[12]
There are some cases however where use of the image of the Atomium is not restricted by any rights. This is the case where photographs are taken by private individuals and shown on private websites for no commercial purpose (the current trend for photo albums), as long as these pictures are displayed at a low resolution (600 pixels maximum, resolution of 72dpi) to avoid abusive usage and downloads. However, the words "© www.atomium.be - SABAM 2010 - photographers name" must be included next to the image.

theschnauzers:
Those are some of the most absurd copyright restrictions I've ever seen; they don't even recognize the doctrine of "fair use."
And it actually doesn't discuss film, just photographs. Which is wierd.
