New citizenship laws passed Dec 2018

Hello

I note that Italian citizenship laws have just changed and I wonder if anyone can clarify. The consulate website in London says applicants have to prove B1 or higher level of Italian. I am however unsure if this applies to all applications or if it is just for those applying by marriage or residency, guvfn that those by descent already are Italian at birth. Does anyone know?

If we do need to have B1 level or higher I'll start studying now!
