Introduction:
A U.S. citizen petitioned the Court of Caltanissetta for recognition of Italian citizenship iure sanguinis, as a descendant of an Italian woman who emigrated and naturalized only after the birth of her child
Challenge:
Overcoming historical restrictions on the transmission of citizenship through maternal lineage and the interruption of citizenship rights in cases of marriage to foreign nationals
Action:
The lineage and certificates presented demonstrated the absence of renunciations, supported by constitutional rulings that eliminate gender-based discrimination for recognition iure sanguinis
