🔴 Supreme Court • May 2026

Standing in line at the consulate doesn't erase your right to citizenship.

The Italian Supreme Court has confirmed that a consular blockade is legal grounds for legal action.

• Were you unable to schedule an appointment at the consulate?
• Is the process stalled or poorly managed?
• Maternal lineage?
• Incomplete documentation?

See if there is still a solution.

Made by members of the Federazione Italiana Cuochi (FIC), a gastronomic entity that attests to the quality of Italian chefs and restaurants, dinner will be served at 20pm, with three sauce options for the polenta: spicy sausage ragu, meat and vegetable. Drinks will be sold separately.

One of the attractions of the party will be the “polenta tomb”, a tradition that involves a large pot filled with kilos of the delicacy.
