It's my understanding that as far as Italy is concerned, if an Italian citizen under the age of 18 immigrated to the U.S, Italy considered that citizen unable to legally renounce their Italian citizenship. Thus, Italy considers them and their offspring to be of Italian citizenship. If the offspring wanted recognition of their Italian status, it's a trip to the consulate with some paperwork and cash to be recognized.

That could have been the root cause of my classmate's problem. I don't know at what age his parent's emigrated from Italy.

Curious law!

LOL, Italy is a curious place, especially where politics are concerned. I have a family member there who is in politics. It's a cesspool but he thinks he can change it. The family always considered him an idiot. LOL
