Before March 17, 1861, there were no citizens of Italy as Italy was not a nation before this date. For a jus sanguinis citizenship application to be submitted, the oldest Italian ancestor must have still been alive on or after that date.
So, in the case of my friend, he’s in his 50’s (like I am), his parents are in their 80’s (say, born in 1940’s, like my parents). So, my grandparents were born around 1920, and then my great grandparents were born between 1890 - 1900. So, 4 generations, maybe 5 if kids were every 20 years.
Bottom line PM Meloni is a class act to facilitatethis
All true. Agreed.
But, IF I understand correctly, there’s no limit to generations afterward. So, your friend’s grandchildren, great-grandchildren, great-great-grandchildren, and so on, would be eligible for Italian citizenship, too.
I guess they’d have to apply for it, too, though, correct?
