 Welcome to Italian Genealogy Let’s explore the world of Italian genealogy together, one person at a time. |
| ZOOM Meeting Topic: Dual Italian Citizenship by Descendancy Presented by: Mike Mechum When: 16-Mar-2024, Saturday Time: 1:30 PM – 3:30 PM (PST) |
| Most people may not realize it, but they could actually be citizens of Italy from birth. Italy requires you to prove your Italian ancestry with proper documentation to apply for and obtain Italian citizenship and does not require you to renounce your current citizenship(s), which allows you to hold two or more passports and be a dual-citizen or “multi”-citizen. |
