Case History
From roots to rights: Italian Citizenship recognized by descent in Reggio Calabria
The Court of Reggio Calabria has once again upheld the right to Italian citizenship jure sanguinis, confirming that descendants of Italian emigrants have the legitimate right to be recognized as Italian citizens by birth. The judgment emphasized that citizenship by descent is an inalienable right that cannot be obstructed by consular delays or administrative inefficiencies. This case sets another milestone in defending the constitutional principle that Italian citizenship, once acquired by birth, is permanent and transmissible through generations.
Breaking barriers: Palermo Court recognizes Italian Citizenship jure sanguinis for maternal descendants

The ruling strengthens judicial recognition as the most effective route for descendants of Italian emigrants facing consular inaccessibility or administrative delays.
