🔴 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.

ICoN brings together several universities in Italy and promotes the teaching of the country's language through distance learning courses, in partnership with the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.

Among the partner institutions are Ca' Foscari University (Venice), the University of Bologna, the University of Rome Tor Vergata, the University of Turin, and the University for Foreigners of Siena.

The notice provides for 10 scholarships for self-study and 10 for classes with a tutor, which will reduce the registration fee in the first semester from 600 to 300 euros and from 900 to 450 euros, respectively. Registration closes until March 5th.

Furthermore, the University of Insubria, located in Lombardy, has opened places for 10 scholarships of 10 euros for international students interested in any of the three-year degree or “master's” degree courses.

Classes are taught in English or Italian, and candidates have until noon (Italian time) on April 12 to register on the university portal.
