Italy ruling tells millions with Italian roots they have lost the right to citizenship | CNN - Lemmy.World

Since Italy became a country in 1861, there has been a surefire way to know who is and isn’t an Italian citizen: look at their parents.

🤔🥴 Somebody is going to have to explain that first sentence to me…

I know there was an “Italian Kingdom” around that time, did that change it’s status from something to a country?

the sentence says: is the person applying an immediate descendent of a parent who is an Italian citizen?

That’s it, no grandparent or great grandparent lineage anymore. Is your mom or dad, a legal Italian citizen?
