Italian Citizenship
An Italian law enacted in 1992 allows, under certain specific conditions, people of Italian descent to obtain Italian citizenship. Italy no longer requires you to renounce your current citizenship. That means that you can keep your foreign passport along with the Italian one. As a very general rule, an individual born in a country other than Italy may claim Italian citizenship by descent if his/her Italian-born ascendant was an Italian citizen at the time of his / her birth.
Thousands of people around the world qualify and apply for Italian Citizenship every year. Italian Citizenship comes with a great deal of benefits: you will reconnect with your Italian heritage, but also you will be eligible to work, live and study in all of the European Union countries without a visa. Not to mention the access to excellent public schools for your kids and virtually free health care system.
