🔴 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.

“This week I completed here in Imola, at the famous Italian race track where Ayrton Senna made his last start, a mural with his portrait: looking at the track, with his fingers pointed upwards, thanking God. The pilot was an example of hard work, overcoming and faith in God. It is a Brazilian symbol, of which we are very proud and which serves as inspiration. A detail of the mural is the Austrian flag that I placed on the helmet. In the fateful race, Senna intended to pay homage to his Austrian colleague Ratzenberger, who died at the same race track in training that same weekend, in 1994. Senna's story is present in the yellow stripe on his helmet, in which I show the beginning of his career, in the kart.”, said.

This week, here in Imola, at the famous Italian race track where Ayrton Senna made his last start, I finished a mural with his portrait: looking at the track, with his fingers pointing upwards, thanking God.

I finished this week here in Imola, at the famous Italian racetrack where Ayrton Senna performed his last act, a mural with his portrait: looking at the track, fingers pointing up, thanking God. The pilot was an example of hard work, success, and faith in God. He is a Brazilian symbol, who we are very proud of and who inspires us. One detail of the mural is the Austrian flag that I put on the helmet. In the tragic race, Senna intended to honor his fellow Austrian racer Ratzenberger, who was killed on the same track in a training session that weekend in 1994. Senna's history is present in the yellow helmet band, in which I show the beginning of his career, in kart racing. #Senna #restart #imola #ayrtonsenna
