About the Italian Consulate General in Stuttgart

The consulate general serves Italians in Baden-Württemberg except the Freiburg region, which has its own Italian consulate. Many Italian families came to the region as guest workers from the 1950s onwards. Consul General Laura Lamia heads the office. The honorary consul in Mannheim helps in the Rhine-Neckar area.
