Overview

Peru's presence in Italy is built on people: one of Europe's largest Peruvian communities lives here, concentrated in Milan, Rome, Turin, and Genoa — and the diplomatic footprint matches it. The embassy on Via Francesco Siacci in Parioli sits atop a network of six consulates-general (Florence, Genoa, Milan, Rome, Turin, Trieste), more consular posts than any other Latin American state keeps in Italy. The embassy itself handles the state-to-state file — trade, the large development and cultural agenda, Peru's relations with the Rome-based UN food agencies handled by a separate mission — while the six consulates carry the daily paperwork of the community.

Visa Services

Peruvian passport holders enter Italy and the Schengen area visa-free for 90 days in any 180 — the EU waiver in force since 2016 — and Italians enter Peru visa-free for up to 90 days as tourists. Non-EU nationals resident in Italy who need a Peruvian visa work with the consulate-general covering their region.

Consular Services

Passports, civil registration, powers of attorney, and citizen services for Peruvians in Italy run through the six consulates-general — Rome, Milan, Turin, Genoa, Florence, and Trieste — each with its own district and appointment system. The embassy answers general and diplomatic matters on +39 06 8069 1510 or 1534, mailbox embperu@ambasciataperu.it.

Special Notes

Six consulates-general is the number to remember: whatever the paperwork, a Peruvian in Italy almost always has a closer door than the embassy — Trieste to Turin, Genoa to Florence. The embassy chancery handles the diplomatic file, not passports.
