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.

The ambitious initiative, whose theme is “Always open to donate”, will serve several regions of the country and will rely on the structure of Feed bank and other charitable organizations in Italy.

“We will bring hot meals to structures that offer hospitality to people and families in difficulty. Together we can shorten distances and look to the future. This initiative confirms and consolidates the commitment that unites McDonald's and the Ronald McDonald Children's Foundation with the country and local communities, especially in the difficult times we are going through, marked by the Covid emergency”, says the McDonald's note.
