    For those who have already been granted Italian citizenship already, is it possible to change your last name in the country they are currently living in and then having the name change recognized by the Italian government? I want to change my name back to my family's original (my bisnonno changed it when he became an American citizen) but I am afraid that it will not be transferable to my Italian records.

      Yes, I am also going through my great grandfather. You essentially just have to prove the line of descendance (that you are in fact related) and that they and none of their descendants have renounced their italian citizenship. Also I believe if your great grandfather naturalized before the next person in your line was born then that would disqualify you. You can learn more by reading the exceptions on your consulate's webpage.

      So there are two main things. First, you'll need all birth, marriage and death certificates for the people in your line of descent (the parents that lead to your great grandfather) to prove that you're related in the first place. The second is that you'll need naturalization or "no record" statements from USCIS (immigration). If I remember correctly, as long as the next person in your line (for me it was my grandfather) was born before your great grandfather naturalized, then you should be good to go. If you still need help feel free to contact me!

    • @bernardooechsler116

      Let me try to explain what I know to you. So, my great-great-grandparents immigrated from Italy to Brazil around the 1890s, in Brazil they had children, including my great-grandmother who was given both Brazilian and Italian citizenship by birth. From what I have heard about Italians who immigrated to the USA, their children must have been born before they were naturalized Americans. I don't actually know how it works in Brazil LOL. So, knowing the fact my great-grandmother was Italian (born in Brazil around the 1910s), we, now have to look at her children. My grandmother was born before 1948, before this date, women couldn't pass their citizenship rights to their children, which means my great-grandmother was not allowed to pass the Italian citizenship to my grandmother! My great-grandmother had other children, one of them is my grandaunt who was born after 1948 (meaning she received the right to get her Italian citizenship). But even if my grandmother was born before 1948, there is still a way I was able to get my Italian citizenship which we in Brazil call "via judicial materna" in English: maternal judicial way. This basically means that we are suing the Italian government for being sexist in the past and not allowing women this right. As I said, my grandaunt was born after 1948, so one of my uncles was able to go to Italy and do the whole process there, it only takes a few months (In Brazil we call this process the administrative way), on the other hand, the way I did took around 2 years! And if you know your case is that one of your grandparents or parents was born after 1948, you can either go to Italy and do the whole process there, or you can do it through the Italian consulate in your country, which will probably take longer. Or if your case is like mine, I suggest doing the maternal judicial way. I suggest looking at this dailyiowan.com/2021/04/30/italian-citizenship-by-descent-can-you-get-it-with-a-maternal-lineage/#:~:text=The%20current%20Italian%20citizenship%20by,because%20they%20have%20female%20ascendants. it that's your case.

Is that correct? So the females in the line did not interrupt eligibility of descendants of a male citizen, who were born after 1948? Or to put another way, descendants of a male citizen who were born after 1948 were eligible even if the ancestral line was through a female descendant?

      @@simpleplum6184 Yes, that's correct! If the child of a female Italian/Brazilian citizen (great-grandmother) was born after 1948, then this does not interrupt eligibility. Let me start with my lineage. My great-great-grandfather arrived in Brazil in his twenties, there he had children, including my Italian/Brazilian great-grandmother (she acquired her Italian citizenship at birth because of her father), then she had my grandmother (born 1947) and grandaunt (born after 1948) since my grandmother was born before 1948, my great-grandmother couldn't pass her citizenship rights to my grandma, she could pass to my grandaunt though. That's why my uncle was able to do the process in Italy (administrative way), but these days, it doesn't matter anymore, you still can acquire your right to citizenship even if you fall under the 1948 law, the process is a little bit different though, you will have to hire an attorney in Italy to start the process for you (maternal judicial way).

    I am a UK/USA dual citizen I lived in Gaeta 80-86 6 years, as a UK citizen who has lived in Italy for over the 4 year term could I apply for citizenship, or do I have to live there now to apply.
    I had an Italian girlfriend 😁

    How about same-sex marriages? Is there a path to Italian citizenship at this point?

      I believe it’s the same as heterosexual marriages, might be better to contact your consulate. There’s also great Facebook groups that can help

    Why would anyone want to live in Italy? I live here and I would love to go and live somewhere else. It's the worst country where you cal live. No democracy. Only taxes. We have the worst government.
