Governor must maintain agreement on the installation of an Italian consulate in Florianópolis 

Agreement to set up a consulate in Florianópolis depends on approval by the Legislative Assembly

Governor Carlos Moisés da Silva (PSL) is expected to uphold the agreement made by his predecessor, Eduardo Pinho Moreira (MDB), to establish an Italian Consulate in Florianópolis.

However, authorization will be given by the current Legislative Assembly of Santa Catarina, which should return to the matter in February, said the governor's press office, who had an appointment in Brasilia this Thursday, in response to Italianismo.

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.

A historic demand of the Italian community in Santa Catarina, the consular unit was promised by the former governor who signaled at the end of his term the transfer of the available space in the State Administrative Center, in the Saco Grande neighborhood.

At the beginning of December, the advisor to the Italian-Brazilian Chamber of Commerce and Industry in Santa Catarina, Diego Mezzogiorno – who has been working for the implementation of the consulate for four years – said that the beginning of bureaucratic procedures between the two countries had begun, and the forecast of opening was three to six months.

It is estimated that Santa Catarina has around 3 million descendants of Italians, almost half of its population.
