What is the 40-page Document Released with the 2025 Emergency Decree: Italian Citizenship by Descent

Author: Marco Permunian & Rafael Di Furia April 13, 2025 Duration: 5:22

The Italian government’s 2025 Tajani emergency decree introduced major changes to Italian citizenship by descent, accompanied by a detailed 40-page document outlining the legal justification behind the move. While intended to strengthen the decree’s position in Parliament, the document has raised concerns around retroactivity, discrimination, and how the new rules impact those pursuing Italian dual citizenship—particularly applicants born outside of Italy. These developments could complicate the jure sanguinis process and potentially lead to legal challenges that reshape access to Italian citizenship. In this episode of Ask The Italian Lawyer hosted by Italian attorney Marco Permunian and dual citizen expat podcaster Rafael Di Furia, we’ll learn the answer to the question: What is the 40-page document released with the 2025 Tajani Italian citizenship emergency decree?For help with the Italian citizenship process and more information about Italian Citizenship Assistance visit ICA's website:https://ItalianCitizenshipAssistance.comFor help with buying a home in Italy, and more information about Italian Real Estate Lawyers visit IREL's website:https://ItalianRealEstateLawyers.comTo contact Italian Attorney Marco Permunian and his team at Italian Citizenship Assistance & Italian Real Estate Lawyers:https://italiancitizenshipassistance.com/contact/https://italianrealestatelawyers.com/contact-us/To see more from Rafael Di Furia about life in Italy and life as a dual-citizen expat check out his YouTube channel and website:Http://YouTube.com/RafaelDiFuriaHttp://RafaelDiFuria.com#expatlifeitaly #juresanguinis #dualcitizenship
