⚠️ The trap
Censura primarily means censorship (blocking content) in Italian. English 'censure' means formal condemnation, not necessarily blocking. Close but not identical — context matters.
To say "formal strong disapproval or official reprimand" in Italian:
censura (close, but censura usually = censorship)
"censura" in English means:
censorship; formal condemnation
Example
"Il film fu bloccato dalla censura negli anni Sessanta."
"The film was blocked by censorship in the 1960s."
