like every year the Book Fair in Turin has been accompanied by a trail of controversy. This time the protest was made by the organizers who have written an open letter to the Cuban government restrictions that have prevented the Cuban blogger Yoani Sanchez to come to Turin, where he had been invited to talk about her book "Cuba Libre", published this year by Rizzoli. "We wish to express our regret - reads the letter to Raul Castro - The absence of this young woman is not only a restriction of his right to travel freely, but also affects the free spirit, a passion for ideas, pleasure of the comparison underlying the Turin Book Fair, and those who think that the book is an essential tool for growth eg
rsonale and collective. " The Cuban blogger, published a weekly magazine International is famous for its controversial content-rich post on the Cuban government. His blog ( Generation Y) is perhaps the only voice of controversy within an island where all media are controlled by the regime castrated. Until a few years ago no one would be interested in a young Cuban who writes a few posts on the internet, but now you can even talk of a crisis between Italy and Cuba This is a clear example of the power that is gaining information on the network: Yoani can take full advantage of two great features of the Internet, that the global spread of the medium and the lack of controllability. You also believe that the true function and the real revolution of the blog may be able to write freely in places where other media are controlled by the censors?
