Case History
Italian Citizenship Restored via Maternal Lineage: Full Recognition in Naples Court
The Court of Naples recognized the Italian citizenship of multiple U.S. citizens descending from Italian women born before 1948. The decision confirms the enduring validity of citizenship transmission through the maternal lineage, even in cases previously excluded by outdated and discriminatory laws.
Victory in Campobasso: Citizenship recognized despite ministry’s objections
The Court of Campobasso upheld the petition of three U.S. citizens descended through a maternal line, recognizing their right to Italian citizenship jure sanguinis. The ruling reinforces that citizenship is a permanent and imprescriptible status, even in cases involving women born before 1948.
Citizenship restored: Palermo court affirms italian status despite pre-1948 Maternal Line
With a powerful ruling, the Court of Palermo recognized the Italian citizenship of a U.S. citizen through maternal descent. This decision overcomes historic gender-based discrimination and reinforces the imprescriptible nature of citizenship rights for descendants born abroad before 1948.
Citizenship reaffirmed: A father’s fight for his and his daughter’s Italian identity
In recognizing the right to Italian citizenship for both father and daughter, the Court of Bari reaffirmed the principle that citizenship is a fundamental, transmissible right that cannot be nullified by outdated legal norms or bureaucratic inaction. This decision underscores the judiciary’s vital role in protecting personal status and restoring legal identity across generations, even in cases involving minor children.
Justice delayed, not denied: Italian citizenship upheld despite bureaucratic barriers
The Court of Campobasso's decision confirms that bureaucratic backlog cannot obstruct the recognition of citizenship by descent. This ruling strengthens the right of individuals to seek justice when administrative systems fail and reaffirms the permanence and justiciability of Italian citizenship acquired jure sanguinis. It also provides a model response to increasing governmental attempts to narrow access through procedural obstacles or statutory interpretation.
