Hi! Sorry if I can’t write this post in Italian, I learnt Italian in school but didn’t have the occasion to practice for more than a decade… thus I’m more than a little rusted! But I still understand, if you accept that I answer in English you can answer me in Italian.
Yesterday, I learnt that my great-grandfather, who flew fascism and came to France, never became French. Thus, if I understand correctly what I have read, my grandfather, as the son of an Italian, was Italian, even if he never asked for his nationality to be recognized. And this nationality comes further to me.
Does it actually works like that? If I prove that my great-grandfather was Italian when my grandfather was born, could I acquire the Italian nationality?
Hey just so you know, a change to this law was approved just a couple of days ago. I don’t think it has passed yet but it is fully expected to. I’m not totally familiar with all of the consequences, and there may be an exception for you, but this excerpt seems relevant to you:
“The decree-law approved today states that Italian descendants born abroad will automatically be citizens for only two generations: only those with at least one parent or grandparent born in Italy will be citizens from birth.”
I’m really sorry

Oh crap 😅.
But in my case it would still work for my mother I think. And after my mother is recognized Italian, I could too. So, again if I understood correctly it would still work, but I’d need one more step. And to convince my mother.
