On June 22, 2022 new legislation regarding dual Italian citizenship came into effect. Proceedings must now be submitted to the relevant District Court where the Court of Appeal of reference for the Italian-born ancestor is located.
Does this new legislation affect only Court Cases (1948 cases) or citizenship applications submitted to an Italian Comune too?
Citizenship at Comune
Not all dual Italian citizenship proceedings are impacted by the law (art. 26 law 206/2021).
The new court legislation only affects court cases. Proceedings already submitted will be discussed in Court in front of a judge. This does not affect foreigners applying for citizenship at an Italian Comune.
