Italian Citizenship Jure SanguinisYou may already be an Italian citizen!
According to Italian Law 91 of February 5, 1992, Italian citizenship is conferred by bloodline. In other words, the descendant of an Italian citizen is already an Italian citizen. The descendant need only have his/her Italian citizenship recognized by the Italian government. An individual seeking to have his/her Italian citizenship recognized need only to produce evidence that everyone in his/her direct line of ascendants uninterruptedly maintained their Italian citizenship. That's it? There's got to be a catch.. You're right, there is. In fact, there are many exceptions to what appears to otherwise be a straightforward rule. Let's start with the basic criteria applicable to everyone, and then we'll explore the specific categories an applicant must fall into in order to truly be eligible for Italian citizenship jure sanguinis.
