It's a formal expulsion order, requiring a non-EU citizen to leave Italy. It can be issued by the Prefetto (for irregular stay) or by the judiciary (in criminal cases). The order can lead to forced removal and a re-entry ban.
An espulsione carries serious consequences, including being banned from re-entering Italy and the Schengen area for years. Most decisions can be appealed quickly, often with a justice of the peace.
Even after an espulsione is enforced, there are situations (like family ties, asylum reasons, or stay rights) that can suspend or annul it. Talking to a specialised lawyer fast is usually the first step.
