Your Guide to Italian Citizenship Eligibility Under the New Law

Are you feeling lost in the maze of Italian citizenship eligibility rules? You’re not alone! With the introduction of Law No. 74/2025 and the May 28, 2025 Ministry Circular, the landscape for Italian citizenship by descent has changed dramatically. The rules are now stricter and more detailed than ever before.

To help you navigate this new legal framework, I’ve created a comprehensive eligibility Guide. This matrix breaks down all the major scenarios under the new law—explaining who is eligible, what conditions apply, and what to watch out for, including key issues like the “Minor Issue,” reacquisition, and 1948 cases.

Why This Guide Matters:

✅ It’s based on the actual text of the new law and the Ministry Circular—no rumors or speculation.

✅ It lays out each scenario in plain language, so you can see exactly where you stand.

✅ It highlights potential blockers and what you might be able to do next.

I’ve also included insights on tricky situations—like how the new two-year residency requirement for minor children works, how reacquisition might apply if you’re blocked, and where future constitutional challenges might create new pathways.
