@a5cent every single European country has its own rules for giving citizenship. In Italy, until now, it was basically like this: if you coult prove you have Italian ancestors, no matter how far in the past, you could get Italian citizenship. That is called "ius sanguinis". On the other hand, if you are born in Italy but your parents are from another country, you are not "Italian". That's "ius soli", the American way. Rn they are changing the law. Ius sanguinis will only work if your parents and/ or grandparents are Italian, not a relative from 1,800. Then there is a third way: ius scholae, which means you get citizenship after graduating from an Italian highschool. There are a alot more rules, too many to mention here. The problem is that many people want an Italian passport, because it is one of the most "powerful" in the world, but they do not study, work, or even live in Italy. So they don't pay taxes. We don't think that is fair. And of course we prefer highly educated immigrants (we need doctors, for example), and people with money (some types of visas require the immigrant to invest in our country). There is just alot of confusion atm 😂

@angelmossucco I am sorry, but would absolutely need to speak Italian. Italy is not Germany or Scandinavia, where most people speak English (and very well too). Unless you want to work in an American military base, or are a digital nomad, or stuff like that. I graduated from a "foreign languages and literatures" highschool. Most of our classes in our three last years of school (Italian highschools usually last 5 years) were dedicated to the study of French, English, and German languages, literatures and cultures. We had two teachers for every language: an Italian one and a French, British/American, and German one. The foreign ones all spoke Italian too. I graduated in 1994, so things might be different now. But to get Italian citizenship you need to pass an Italian language test called "B1". It's a very simple test. You need to pass the same test even if you apply to citizenship after marrying an Italian person or apply for a resident permit. It's a very long and slow process in all cases. Sorry my reply was so long, it is confusing for me too, and laws change all the time.
