Hi, Laura (cc'ing socialmedia@). Thanks for forwarding the image.
The translation is: Guardia di Finanza

for the violations referred to in articles 81 para. 171, co.2, L.633 / 1941

So, this is a block applied by Italian authorities (perhaps only in Rome). It's not anything on the www.gutenberg.org servers or associated infrastructure.
We don't have any agents or expertise in Italy (PG operates wholly from the US). If someone in Italy finds out more about this, we will be pleased to receive further details.
Thanks,
Greg

Hi, team. We have some neat videos that were donated to us by an advertising firm. Would you please post them to the PG Twitter & Facebook pages?
They are fairly high-quality videos, but FB & Twitter should properly downsample as needed for playback. They are here:

Text could be something like this:
Do you have a favorite movie? Check if it was based on a book, and you’ll enjoy the story much, much more. Take a look at our latest campaign to find out why. And go to our website to download thousands of free ebooks. #ProjectGutenberg
Thanks! Would you please let me know when these are done? The videos are ours to keep, and can be reposted periodically. We might get a few more, and if you have suggestions for books let me know.. we are selecting PG eBooks that:
a. Are a current movie, and
b. Are not too long... up to 200 pages or so
