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.

For the occasion, the “Alfredo alla Scrofa” Award will be established, which aims to honor the characters who contributed to the dissemination of Roman tradition in the world. The recipe for “Fettuccine Alfredo”, a historic symbol of Italian cuisine around the world, is made with fettuccine, egg, butter and parmesan, which makes the dish creamy. 

The recipe was born on the initiative of Alfredo DiLelio, who saw his wife weakened after giving birth to one of his children. 

Even today the dish is prepared with the same ingredients: a homemade pasta fresh, very thin, dipped for 30 seconds in boiling water. 

The procedure requires the pasta to be drained from the pan into a deep dish, into which fresh butter is placed at room temperature and covered with a very fine parmesan. The preparation is done in front of the customer.
