Flávio Bolsonaro, son of President Jair (PL), defeated in the presidential elections on October 30, stated that he has no intention of leaving Brazil to go to Italy.
“I was elected senator for another four years, I intend to run again and, before crazy theories start circulating, leaving the country is not an option”, he clarified.
As reported by the Brazilian press, yesterday Eduardo and Flávio Bolsonaro resorted to Italian embassy in Brasilia to accelerate the process of Italian citizenship. The news was anticipated by the Metrópoles website and confirmed by Flávio.
“My family is of Italian origin and I have the right to apply for citizenship. A practice I started in September 2019,” she explained.
The Italian embassy also informed the Handle the presence of the president's son in the consular chancellery in a note signed by the Italian ambassador in Brasília, Francesco Azzarello.
“I partially confirm what was reported by the Brazilian press, that Senator Flávio Bolsonaro was at the embassy on the morning of Tuesday, November 8th, although I did not meet him in person. Because of this, there is obviously respect for privacy. In consular matters, the embassy always acts in accordance with current regulations”, declared the Italian diplomat.
In November 2021, on a day full of tensions, the outgoing president, Jair Bolsonaro, received honorary citizenship of Anguillara Veneta, in northern Italy, where part of his family comes from. The tribute to recognize the right-wing leader was carried out by Mayor Alessandra Buoso, from the ultranationalist League party.
Bolsonaro's paternal great-grandfather, Vittorio Bolzonaro – the surname was originally written with Z instead of S –, it originated from Venetian Anguillara. He was born there in 1878, before his parents emigrated to Brazil when he was 10 years old. On his father's side, Bolsonaro also has German and Calabrian origins: his great-grandfather “Carlos” Hintze was born in Hamburg around 1876 and went to Brazil in 1883, while Luzia Caliò was of Calabrian origin.
Bolsonaro's maternal grandparents, Guido Bonturi and Argentina Pardini, were Tuscans from Lucca. In January 2019, in fact, the Italian right defended a possible visit by the Brazilian president to the Tuscan city, after Bolsonaro considered visiting the place. (Handle)
