Bill Aims to Limit Access to Italian Citizenship for Great-Grandchildren, Also Requiring Language Proficiency and Legal Residency in the Country.

A bomb is about to explode in the universe of Italian descendants. The long-awaited Italian citizenship may be out of reach for many people with the possible change in law in Italy. A bill, presented by Italian senator Roberto Menia, is causing anxiety and concern among those who have the right to dual citizenship, especially Brazilians.

This bill seeks to limit the right to Italian nationality by descent, the so-called jus sanguinis (Right of Blood), to the fourth generation, that is, great-grandchildren. If that weren’t enough, other requirements are being proposed: proficiency in the Italian language, with the obligation of a B1 Certificate, and a legal residency of at least one year in Italy.

Concern Among Brazilians

This news has left many people worried, especially Brazilians who dream of securing Italian citizenship for themselves and their descendants. After all, changes in the law in Italy may end one of the great benefits of being a descendant of Italians: the possibility of maintaining a connection with the land of ancestors through citizenship.

Acceleration of Citizenship Processes

While the change in law in Italy has not been confirmed, many are racing against time to secure Italian citizenship before the new rules come into effect. Dr. Rodrigo, who is also the CEO of Instituto EuropaOnline, revealed that, following a recent change in the jurisdiction for adjudicating Italian judicial processes, the procedures are faster.

“The timeframe we gave to those who sought us was one year and eight months from distribution to judicial sentence. Currently, with the new law, the jurisdiction has become decentralized across all courts in Italy,” he explained.

Challenges Ahead with the Bill in Changing the Law

In addition to monitoring the change in law in Italy, Rodrigo Salgado also faces other challenges as Vice-President of the Association of European Attorneys – AEA. In his role, he assists people interested in immigrating to Italy or obtaining Portuguese citizenship. Among the sensitive issues he deals with is the end of the so-called ‘expression of interest’ in Portugal, which allowed tourists who decided to stay in the country to start their legalization process.

Another significant challenge pointed out by him is the search for old certificates and documents, something that may become even more crucial if the new law in Italy is approved, complicating the process of recognition of Italian citizenship for many descendants.

While the final decision is not made, the advice of experts is clear: those who have the right to Italian citizenship and have not yet started the process should hurry. The window of opportunity may be closing quickly.

Libya built over 4,000 kilometers of underground pipelines to bring water from the Sahara to coastal cities in a project that the government itself called the Eighth Wonder of the World.

He transformed an abandoned plastic water tank into an underground house in the “hobbit hole” style, using only repurposed pallet wood, without heavy machinery or expensive labor.

China transforms desert-devastated area into the world’s largest artificial forest, planting trees for 60 years, blocking sand that reached Beijing, and creating a “green lung” of 92,000 hectares in a region once considered lost.

Toyota launches “family hybrid van” with 7 or 8 seats, 1.8 hybrid engine, fuel consumption of up to 23.8 km/l, and a price equivalent to about R$ 104,000 without taxes, below the Tiggo 8 Pro Plug-in Hybrid sold in Brazil: meet the Noah Hybrid 2026 in Japan.

With 70 tons of rock removed by hand and an 800-year-old abandoned cave, a former businessman transforms a dark shelter into a modern home carved in the heart of the forest.

Engine without traditional cylinder head could change the future of hybrids: Aramco creates DHE technology that simplifies mechanics, promises to reduce consumption by up to 25%, and challenges decades of evolution in combustion engines.
