Introduction:
A descendant of an Italian citizen who emigrated to Argentina petitioned the Court of Turin to obtain recognition of Italian citizenship iure sanguinis, supported by documentation demonstrating an uninterrupted direct lineage
Challenge:
Proving descent through a maternal line prior to 1948 and overcoming previous legal restrictions on the transmission of citizenship through maternal lineage
Action:
The defense presented documentary evidence of the lineage, along with constitutional rulings that declared gender-based citizenship restrictions unconstitutional
