In 2025, Italy reformed its citizenship laws, introducing Law No. 74/2025 and Decree-Law 36/2025, which significantly restrict automatic citizenship recognition beyond the second generation and impose stricter criteria for applicants born abroad. Under the new framework, only those with a parent or grandparent born in Italy or meeting other specific requirements can automatically acquire citizenship by descent.
f you are a first or second generation descendant of an Italian ancestor, it is more important than ever to hurry with your application before future procedural changes or additional requirements make the process more challenging.
