%20(1).webp)
1948 PATH
Italian Citizenship by Maternal Descent
• Legislative Update: As of June 22, 2022, Italian law mandates that citizenship claims under this path must be pursued through Italian courts.
• Retroactive Applications: The Italian Court of Cassation’s 2009 decision enabled descendants born to Italian mothers before 1948 to claim citizenship via judicial proceedings.
• Expert Guidance: Judicial proceedings require specialized legal assistance to ensure proper filing and compliance.
Why the 1948 Path Remains Your Best Option
Constitutional Protection
Your citizenship rights are protected by Italy's constitution, which cannot be overridden by administrative decrees.
Established Precedent
Italian courts have consistently ruled in favour of jure sanguinis claims, creating strong legal precedent.
EU Law Protection
European Union citizenship laws provide additional protection against discriminatory national legislation.
Legitimate Expectations
Courts recognize your legitimate expectation to citizenship based on established law and family heritage.
