Italian Citizenship by Descent Changes
In 2025, the Italian Council of Ministers adopted Decree Law No. 36, introducing new legislation to reform the country’s citizenship by descent regulations.
Italian citizenship is now restricted to individuals whose parents or grandparents never relinquished their Italian citizenship. Great grandchildren or 3rd generation are now ineligible.
These changes were approved by the Italian government and signed into law by the President.
However, as with any legislation, court appeals are already in the pipeline
