The Italian citizenship landscape has been buzzing with discussions about a recent court case that recently went through the Court of Rome. This case has left many wondering about the future of Italian citizenship by descent. The case in question, Decision 17161 of June 15th, 2023, rendered by the Italian Supreme Court(Corte di Cassazione), revolves around the 1948 cases. This ruling relates to a subcategory of 1948 cases where the individual(s) have an Italian-born ancestor who became naturalized while their child, born in the U.S., was still a minor. The age of adulthood under Italian law changed in 1975 from 21 to 18 years. The recent Supreme Court decision stated that the naturalization of the ancestor, while the U.S.-born child was still a minor, caused the loss of Italian citizenship for the child. However, it's crucial to understand that in the Italian legal system, this decision is not binding for other courts. In this episode of the Italian Citizenship Podcast Hosted by Marco Permunian, an Italian Attorney and dual-citizen expat podcaster Rafael Di Furia, cover this recent case and Decision 17161 of June 15th, 2023 and discuss what this means for individuals who may fall into this sub-category.
