Italian Citizenship by Descent

Start Here

Italian citizenship by descent can be meaningful and complicated, especially under current law.

As of May 2025, Italy significantly limited automatic recognition under Law 74/2025. Today, eligibility is generally restricted to individuals with an Italian-born parent or grandparent, subject to additional rules involving naturalization history and minor status.

Many people are unsure where they stand.

If you are wondering:

• Can I apply today?

• Does a great-grandparent automatically disqualify me?

• What if naturalization timing is unclear?
