Congratulations Ignacio! I am very happy for you and your family. Being an Italo-Argentinean myself, and having applied to Italian Citizenship due similar family and cultural ties, I can imagine the happiness and pride that the judicial decision gave to you.
All the best,

In any case, the rules were not created for xenophobic reasons as Jennabet would have you believe. They were simply inherited from another state well before women's suffrage.

I agree. The new constitutional interpretation is anchored in the principle of gender equality and non-discrimination ...

hat discrimination was in fact REMOVED by Italian lawmakers, who wrote a new constitution in recognition of the birth of the Italian Republic in 1948.

Since the adoption of the Constitutional Court Rules No. 87/1975, 30/1983 and 81/1987, Italian women are fully able to transfer their citizenship ...

Dear all,

I recently won my so-called 1948 rule case. In other words, my Italian citizenship was recognized by the the Ordinary Tribunal of Rome (Tribunale Ordinario di Rome, Sezione Civile), as an Italian descendant of a women born before 01/01/1948. The lawyer that I hired in order to represented ...

Dear all,
I just would like to share with you that last week the hearing in my case took place. And, as expected, the State didn't appear before the Tribunal. This is indeed a good news. The Italian Home Land Ministry (Ministero degli Interni) is still tacitly and continuously accepting the ...

Thank you very much for your quick answer, Tommy! I will keep my fingers crossed for my case. Cheers. Tuper16

Hi Tommy,
Congratulations! I am happy for you and for the fact that the Italians Courts are firmly applying the same well established jurisprudence related to the maternal line citizenship. I am also waiting for the judicial resolution of my case. Actually, the public audience with the government ...

Dear alison90,

It is important that you track back the name of your GGF's parents. That is the only way to be sure that you are talking about the same person, specially if you do not have his exact date of birth.

In general, in marriage and death certificates you find the name of the parents ...

You are welcome! And good luck with your enquiry.

Dear windey7299,

If I understood you correctly, your son got his Italian citizenship from his paternal line, that is from your ex-husband.

This means that your ex-husband is Italian too. In other words, in order to your son be considered Italian, all his ancestor, in the linage claimed by him in ...

I expect to be receiving my passport this year (appointment in late March in Philly). We expect to be in France or Spain when it comes in. Does anyone know the procedure for signing up for health cover when you are outside Italy and in Europe? I think you go to the Italian consulate to get the docs ...

Hi There,

According to my knowledge, you directly qualify for Italian Citizenship. If your GM has not expressly renounced to her Italian citizenship before the birth of your Mother, then the latter has acquired her right to the citizenship at the moment of her birth; the same than you and your ...

Dear jmb44,

I asked a birth certificate a year ago and they took some time before coming back to me. Unfortunately they couldn't find it...

Meanwhile they where looking for it, a person from the "Ufficio di stato civile", the register office, contacted me by e-mail (my initial contact was also by ...

Hi Marcello,
I am happy to read your successful experience with the 1948 Rule. Congratulations! Just a short question. How long it took for you to get your birth certificate register at the comune, after the delivery of the positive judgement? And, how long it took to get your passport delivered by ...

Dear Bmichaellamp,
Thanks for your fast reply. Your experience is very encouraging and gives me good hopes in connection with the fast resolution of my case. As soon as I have more information or the case develops, I will let you know.
Thanks again.
Best,
