The 1948 constitution declared women equal under Italian law. Subsequent court decisions and legislation based on that that principle have overturned both the pre-1948 inability of women to pass citizenship to children, as well as the pre-1948 requirement that women marrying foreigners lost Italian ...

His name is Anthony Alioto. Hes a lawyer for real estate in Italy but also dual citizenship. Hes in California

Who recommended him?

Alioto's not a lawyer- he's a paralegal.

It seems to me that the Italian law cited means that the woman loses her Italian citizenship only if the laws of the other country cause her to gain the citizenship of her new husband.
No, unfortunately Italy's law is the problem, regardless of the husband's country's laws. Pre-1948 marriages in ...

Again, all the talk in this forum about Italian women losing citizenship upon marriage to a foreigner before 1948 is confusing and I'm beginning to wonder if it's even correct.

Hi Everybody,

I've been living in Italy for 4 years now, first as a student (on a student visa) now I work here (on a subordinate work visa) both of which have been an extraordinarily pain in the ass to get. I have been putting all of this stuff together for about 3 years now, tracing my roots ...

Sure, you could apply at LA if you have CA DL and an address in the LA consular district.

This same law is applied in Italy when issuing/renewing a passport to parent with minor children (even if they are not listed on the passport)- the other parent must sign the application form. Mom needs to contact father to get him to sign. If she doesn't know where he is, possibly a private ...

Prior to that date, when a native-born Italian (your great great grandfather) naturalized in another country, he gave up not only his own Italian citizenship but also that of all of his minor children, regardless of where they were born.

On or after that date, only children born in Italy ...

Foreign women who married an Italian citizen before April 27, 1983, were automatically granted Italian citizenship".
This is true. I would have your mother take proof of father's Italian citizenship (a passport perhaps?), her marriage license/certificate, as well father's death certificate to the ...
