Mauro Telani – Diary, contacts, and practical paths

This site tells the story of my return to residence in Italy

Tra burocrazia, salute (infarto e ictus) e il percorso per la cittadinanza di mia moglie bielorussa.
Condivido esperienze personali e concrete, utili a chi si trova in situazioni simili.

Many people, while I was going through these experiences, told me to let it go, to comply with the institutions and do what they asked just to avoid trouble. Instead, I chose another path: I studied the laws and brought them to the bureaucrat in charge. I discovered that, by doing so, things can really improve.

The forum is open to everyone: join in to build a community of support and sharing together.
