Freedom of expression, a cornerstone of democratic systems, is the subject of extensive protections and guarantees. In totalitarian regimes, this fundamental principle, as enshrined in article 21 of the Italian Constitution, was a source of persecution and repression, since the very concept of liberty was not regarded as a subjective legal situation contrary to the exercise of official authority. The entry into force of the Constitution and especially by an extensive case law have established the centrality of the right to express ideas by any means of dissemination, realizing fully the spiritual life of man, the ideas of which he is the bearer and the possibility to express beliefs in all fields. Today, more than ever, the principle is faced with another challenge caused by the advent of new television and Internet systems:
ensuring the implementation of the principle of pluralism of information, which is overriding and unavoidable in view of the emerging jurisprudence constitutional matters.
