Introduction:
A U.S. citizen, a direct descendant of an Italian woman, petitioned the Court of Caltanissetta to obtain recognition of Italian citizenship iure sanguinis, due to the absence of a suitable administrative procedure
Challenge:
Proving direct maternal descent from an Italian ancestor and overcoming the citizenship interruption previously applied to women who married foreign nationals prior to 1948
Action:
The petition was submitted directly to the judicial authority, supported by certified documentation proving the unbroken line of descent with no renunciation of citizenship
