ITALIAN CITIZENSHIP UPDATE: Supreme Court Hearing Date for the Minor Issue and Tajani Decree

About this episode

This episode discusses the upcoming Supreme Court hearing regarding Italian citizenship by descent and the implications of the Tajani Decree.

A key turning point is coming for Italian citizenship by descent (jure sanguinis), as Italy’s Supreme Court (Corte di Cassazione) is set to address the long disputed “minor issue” that has produced conflicting outcomes across regional courts when an ancestor naturalized while their foreign-born child was still a minor, alongside questions about whether the Tajani Decree’s eligibility changes can be applied retroactively to people born before it entered into force, with additional momentum from new constitutional referrals like the recent filing from the Court of Campobasso that signals continued judicial doubts.
