Embassy of Brazil in Rome

Apply for your eVisa

Overview

Rome hosts two embassies inside Baroque masterpieces on its most famous squares, and Brazil owns one of them: the Palazzo Pamphilj fills the south-west side of Piazza Navona, a palace built for the family of Pope Innocent X, with a gallery frescoed by Pietro da Cortona. Brazil has held it since 1920 — and, like France's Palazzo Farnese, it can be visited on guided tours booked through the embassy's channels. The relationship it manages is the largest between Italy and Latin America: some thirty million Brazilians claim Italian descent, Italy is a top European investor in Brazil, and the traffic in citizenship recognition, study, and work moves in both directions. Ambassador Renato Mosca leads the mission; the consular workload runs through Brazil's separate consulates-general in Rome and Milan.

Visa Services

Italian citizens travel to Brazil without a visa for stays up to 90 days, extendable once in-country — tourism and business alike need only a valid passport. Non-EU nationals resident in Italy check their own passport's terms with the Brazilian consulate-general covering their region.

Consular Services

Passports, civil registration, and citizenship paperwork for Brazilians in Italy belong to the consulates-general — Rome for the centre and south, Milan for the north — not to the Palazzo Pamphilj chancery. The embassy's own desks split by mailbox: political affairs (politico.roma@), science and education (sectec.roma@), trade and tourism (secom.roma@, turismo.roma@, economico.roma@, agrobusiness.roma@), administration (administ.roma@) — all @itamaraty.gov.br.

Service Area

The embassy manages Brazil's bilateral relations with Italy. Consular jurisdiction belongs to the Consulate-General in Rome (centre and south) and the Consulate-General in Milan (north).

Appointment Information

The chancery at Palazzo Pamphilj, Piazza Navona 14, works Monday to Friday, 09:00-18:00 — switchboard +39 06 683 981, mailbox brasemb.roma@itamaraty.gov.br. Guided visits of the palace, including the Cortona gallery, are arranged through the embassy's Visite Palazzo Pamphilj programme; consular business goes to the consulates-general, not here.

Special Notes

Two Brazilian addresses in Rome trip people up: the embassy at Piazza Navona 14 (diplomacy, trade, culture) and the Consulate-General elsewhere in the city (passports, citizenship, civil records). Check which one your matter needs — the queues for Italian-descent citizenship paperwork belong entirely to the consular side.

Frequently asked questions

Do Italians need a visa for Brazil?

No — Italian passports enter Brazil visa-free for up to 90 days, extendable once in-country, for tourism and business alike. A valid passport is the only requirement.

Can I visit the Palazzo Pamphilj?

Yes — Brazil opens its embassy palace on Piazza Navona for guided visits through the Visite Palazzo Pamphilj programme, including the gallery frescoed by Pietro da Cortona. Rome's other tourable embassy palace, France's Farnese, has a rival in this one.

Where do Brazilians in Italy renew passports?

At the consulates-general, not the embassy: Rome's CG serves the centre and south, Milan's the north. The Palazzo Pamphilj chancery handles diplomacy, trade, and culture — its switchboard +39 06 683 981 redirects consular queries.

Which email reaches the right Brazilian desk in Rome?

The embassy splits its desks by mailbox on @itamaraty.gov.br: brasemb.roma@ for general matters, politico.roma@ for political affairs, sectec.roma@ for science and education, secom.roma@/turismo.roma@/economico.roma@/agrobusiness.roma@ for the commercial cluster, administ.roma@ for administration. Consular questions belong to the consulates-general instead.
