To answer some doubts......
Leaving from a US airport, you need a PINK visa, which should cost U$70+. In order to get this visa, you must check one box on a form listing the 12 official reasons for travel to Cuba from the US. Tourism is not one of them.
If you got a visa in Rome, you probably have a GREEN visa, which is the correct one for everyone arriving from outside the US and costs about U$25.
The airline will lol not allow you to board your flight to Cuba without proper documentation.
You present this visa to Cuban authorities when you arrive at your Cuban entry airport.

The return flight to Europe should not be a problem unless it transits in the US, in which case you are again subject to US law. However, US immigration officers on re-entry to the US from Cuba, when presented with the receipt from the machines now used for basic questions, only ask where you have been and possibly how much rum or how many cigars you are bringing in (there is a dollar/quantity limit legally).


Thank you very much, now i understand... in this case there's no solution, i must change my flight and i can't fly directly from USA to Cuba. (correct, i have the green visa of 25$)
Can i ask a last info ? i've seen the website of Aeromexico and this company allows foreigners to fly to Cuba: a pop-up just say

"In order to search flights to Cuba we need to certify if you are subject to US jurisdiction. Are you:

A United States citizen?
A United States resident?
A person otherwise under U.S. jurisdiction, e.g.
You are buying a flight ticket to Cuba while on U.S. territory
You will begin your travel to Cuba stating in the U.S.


What do you think about that ? Could i use this company instead Jet Blue or it's better anyway to change planning ?
