Italian Citizenship After the Reform: The Full 2026 Guide 🇮🇹

Italian citizenship by descent has changed dramatically after the 2025 reform. In this video, Avv. Carlo Pontei of Mangata Avvocati explains the current situation after the introduction of Article 3-bis of Law no. 91/1992, the Constitutional Court decision no. 63/2026, and the most recent developments from the Italian courts. This is a longer and more detailed video because the situation is no longer simple. Italian citizenship by descent is not dead. But it is not the same as before. Today, the key question is no longer only: “Do I have Italian ancestors?” The real question is: “Is my case still legally and strategically defensible after the reform?” In this video, we discuss: What changed with the 2025 Italian citizenship reform What Article 3-bis means for people born abroad What the Constitutional Court decided in decision no. 63/2026 Why some cases may still be possible Why some cases are now extremely difficult The difference between strong cases, grey-area cases, weak cases, and cases that may no longer be viable Why evidence before March 27, 2025 may be crucial Why consular appointment attempts, emails, screenshots, payments, translations, apostilles, legal work, and document collection may matter Why 1948 cases must be evaluated differently Why a standard document review is no longer enough after the reform Why a court-ready legal assessment is now essential After the reform, not every case should be filed. But not every case should be abandoned automatically. Some cases are still strong. Some cases may fall into a legal grey area. Some cases require a careful litigation strategy. And some cases may be too weak to proceed. At Mangata Avvocati, we do not tell everyone to file a lawsuit. And we do not tell everyone that it is over. We carefully assess each case based on documents, dates, family line, naturalization records, 1948 issues, minor issues, Article 3-bis exceptions, pre-reform activation, and litigation risk. If you were already collecting documents, trying to book an appointment, preparing a 1948 case, working with professionals, requesting naturalization records, translating documents, obtaining apostilles, or building your citizenship file before March 27, 2025, your case may deserve a serious legal assessment. Do not panic. Do not proceed blindly. Do not rely only on generic information online. Have your case reviewed carefully.
