In August, we reached more than 10,000 pages of Wikimedia projects with contents from Biblioteca europea di informazione e cultura (BEIC). The BEIC wiki-GLAM project is running since 2014. Pages containing images from BEIC now are seen more than 11 million times a month on 200+ Wikimedia projects, on 180+ languages - that is 260 million potential image views from the beginning of the project! Many of the images are digitized frontispieces from ancient books, but a big part comes also from the 16,900 photographs of the Paolo Monti online collection, the largest release of a notable contemporary photographer's collection ever, and the biggest one-shot donation from Italy.
