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.

Despite having eight children, 58 grandchildren and many great-grandchildren, it was not possible to organize a large party due to the Covid-19 emergency.

Nonna Marietta, in addition to having known the great tragedies of the 20th century, such as the First and Second Wars, defeated the terrible “Spanish flu” as a child.

“The city celebrates grandmother Marietta’s 112th birthday. She is a very important record, one of the longest-living women in Europe and the world,” said the mayor of Piazza Armerina, Nino Cammarata.
