Autocertificazione dello status di immigrato ai fini dell'assistenza sanitaria urgente in Italia prevista dal Decreto del Ministro della Salute dell'1 febbraio 1996.

Il decreto del Ministro della Salute dell'1 febbraio 1996 in materia di cure ospedaliere urgenti prestate dal Servizio sanitario nazionale prevede, all'art. 2, comma 2, che "ai cittadini italiani residenti all'estero, titolari di pensione corrisposta da enti previdenziali italiani o aventi lo status di emigrato certificato dall'Ufficio consolare italiano competente per territorio, le prestazioni ospedaliere urgenti sono erogate, a titolo gratuito e per un periodo massimo di novanta giorni nell'anno solare, qualora gli stessi non abbiano una copertura assicurativa, pubblica o privata, per le suddette prestazioni sanitarie".
Alla luce della vigente disciplina in tema di autocertificazioni, la condizione di emigrato di cui all'art. 2, comma 2 del citato decreto, presupposto per la fruizione delle prestazioni sanitarie ivi previste, non deve piu' essere attestata dall'Autorita' consolare poiche' piu' semplicemente autocertificabile mediante dichiarazione sostitutiva presso le ASL di competenza.
La condizione di emigrato dovra’ essere attestata mediante dichiarazione sostitutiva di certificazione da presentare alla competente ASL, con la quale il cittadino autocertifica:
A - di essere nato in Italia, di possedere la cittadinanza italiana, nonche' di risiedere all'estero, indicando il Comune di iscrizione AIRE.
oppure
B - di essere nato all'estero, di possedere la cittadinanza italiana, di aver risieduto in Italia, indicando il Comune di iscrizione all'Anagrafe della popolazione residente (ANPR), di risiedere attualmente all'estero ed essere quindi iscritto all'Anagrafe degli italiani residenti all'estero (AIRE).

Il possesso dei requisiti di legge NON DEVE PIU’ ESSERE ATTESTATO DALL’AUTORITA’ CONSOLARE, perche’ AUTOCERTIFICABILE dal cittadino.
Il cittadino residente all’estero, che si reca temporaneamente in Italia, NON DEVE pertanto PIU’richiedere all’Ufficio consolare l’attestazione sanitaria per ottenere le prestazioni ospedaliere urgenti a titolo gratuito.
Tale procedura (peraltro in linea con la disciplina vigente in materia di documentazione amministrativa) e’ stata concordata con il Ministero della Salute, nel primario interesse del cittadino, cui viene evitata dunque un’inutile incombenza.


Per agevolare il connazionale nella compilazione dell’autocertificazione, e’ stato predisposto da questa Ambasciata un facsimile bilingue (www.ambwellington.esteri.it. Modulistica-Certificati) che l’interessato consegnera’ personalmente (compilato e firmato) alla competente ASL in Italia, in caso di rientro temporaneo.

Francesco D’Orazio
was born in Bari and was taught violin and viola by his father. Later he studied with Denes Zsigmondy at the Salzburg Mozarteum and Yair Kless at the Rubin Academy in Tel Aviv. In 2010, the Italian National Music Critics Association awarded him with the Premio Abbiati as “Best Soloist” of the year. With Orchestra Sinfonica Nazionale della RAI in Turin, he recorded Fire and Blood by Michael Daugherty, Michael Nyman Concerto n.1 and the complete works for violin and orchestra by Ivan Fedele. Mr. D'Orazio has recorded for the most prominent record labels such as Decca, Hyperion and Opus 111/Naive and has performed at such major concert venues as the Berliner Philarmonie, Accademia Nazionale di Santa Cecilia (Rome), Royal Albert Hall and Cadogan Hall (London), the Teatro Coliseo (Buenos Aires), the Centre de la Musique Baroque in Versailles, the Frick Collection in New York. His large repertoire includes works from early music, as violinist in the original instrument ensemble L'Astrée of Turin, to classic, romantic and contemporary music. He is a favourite of many composers: Luis De Pablo wrote for D’Orazio his last violin work, “Per Violino” and for many years D'Orazio worked with Luciano Berio.

Giampaolo Nuti
was born in Florence, where he studied piano with the late Antonio Bacchelli at the “L. Cherubini” Conservatory of Music, graduating with honours in both piano and harpsichord. First prize winner in many piano competitions, he has appeared as a soloist with many symphony and chamber orchestras, working with Topilow, Yaslicam, Chen, Samale, Gutter, Kawka, performing Concertos ranging from Bach, Haydn, Mozart, Beethoven to Liszt, Alkan, Chopin, Tchaikovsky, Shostakovich and Schnittke in Italy, Austria, United States and Mexico. He has recorded with Decca and Stradivarius. Nuti has been the winner of the State Competition for teaching positions; he is presently teaching piano at the “A. Boito” Conservatory of Music in Parma, while regularly holding master classes for various academies in Italy. Mr. Nuti’s solo repertoire covers a vast part of piano literature; he also focuses his attention on monographic recitals, like the ones dedicated to Alkan’s music, the north-american composers or the complete Shostakovich Preludes and Fugues; he also endeavours to explore new forms of recitals, seeking to attain a more engaging experience for the audience.

DON'T MISS OUR PLAY!!!!!!!




La biografia di Al


Al Capone, legendary gangster of Chicago, invites a few famous writers into his office to have them write his own biography.
His call is answered by three very different authors: Agatha Christie, George Lucas and Eduardo De Filippo (who was one of the most famous Italian theatre author/actor).
They all gather to work on the ‘story of Capone’s life’, but whilst they are busy, trying to find a common ground, things turn out be much different than expected…

Matteo’s theatre class/workshop is proud to introduce to you “La biografia di Al” (“The biography of Al”), a one-act play written by Italian writer Saverio Siciliano and adapted and directed by Matteo.
The play will be shown on Sunday the 22nd of May at 4pm at Dante (at the Auditorium of the Freemans Bay Community Centre to be exact).
After the play a glass of spumante and some nibbles will be served to celebrate our brave students/actors (if you want, you can also bring a platter to share!).

We hope to see you all at the Dante on Sunday the 22nd of May at 4 pm!!!
