Welcome, Romain!
Elisa, about characters, if have not to be copyrighted, have not much more.
In italy I can imagine:
- Arlecchino (a traditional italian masquerade of the carnival: several child,
also today, dress of some maquerade during the carnival, and Arlecchino it's
the
prefered one because it's full of colors).
Here an English article:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Harlequin
Here some more modern images of this masquerade:

- Pinocchio ( the, I think, worldwide know carachter of the italian writers
Italo Collodi, a wood puppet that it's alive and that obtain to become a true
child by means of a fairy)
Here an English article:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pinocchio
Here some images:
http://www.google.it/search?hl=it&client=firefox-a&hs=YxD&rls=org.mozilla:it:official&q=pinocchio&bav=on.2,or.r_gc.r_pw.&biw=998&bih=597&um=1&ie=UTF-8&tbm=isch&source=og&sa=N&tab=wi
- A third possibility could be Il Gatto con gli Stivali, a european tale that
was for the first times swrote from italian writers. But the more known
versions
are of a french writer, and is not felt like tipical, like Arlecchino o
Pinocchio.

If I think some others, I tell you.

Yes it's true, law exist, that's why we don't look for commercial
characters, but traditional characters. What is traditional was
invented yeas ago, and are nowadays in public domain. Also our best
illustrator will redraw it with the doudoulinux touch to not have any
more problem with copyright.
Thanks for your example but i think that all your characters are
commercial, and actual. We want to know about your culture, everybody
know, not only children. Character exist in your cultural life since
1000 years. Do you understand me ? Not present on TV show at all.
For example all the traditional characters will certainly have an
entry in the wikipedia.
Thanks,
Elisa_______________________________________________
