Cuba in April 2003, in the last years of what the author calls analogue socialism. Islanders proud of their independence and their culture, tempted by the dream of mass consumption and still aware of what the Barbudos did; an elderly but still present Fidel Castro; a new generation about to open onto a world already busy with a digital revolution that the island does not appear to care much about, occupied as it is with the labour and the pleasures of an ordinary day. The pictures ran in L'Espresso in October 2003 and are reissued here as a small unbound-looking notebook.
