“New ruling by the Italian Supreme Court, the “minor issue” & the effects on Citizenship by Descent Eligibility”
There has been a new ruling from the Cassation Court (Italian Supreme Court), one of the highest courts in Italy, (Decision 17161 of June 15, 2023) that could affect huge numbers of people seeking citizenship by descent, both through courts and administrative lines through consulates/comuni.
The ruling asserts that the original '1912 rule' does not safeguard the Italian citizenship of a minor. Put differently, the court's assertion signifies that regardless of the specific date, if your ancestor of Italian origin acquired citizenship while the succeeding in line was below 21 years of age (or under 18 years of age post the year 1975), the lineage's continuity is severed. The earlier construction of this regulation pertained solely to instances where the Italian-born forebear naturalized before the year 1912.

Between 1880 and 1921, when some 4.2 million Italians immigrated to the country, Italian immigration reached its height. About 80% of these immigrants were from the Mezzogiorno, an area in southern Italy that was experiencing significant turmoil and misery. Political tension between the government in the north and the rural peasants in the south, which had only been formally unified in 1860, grew in the 1870s after the government imposed a heavy tax on wheat and salt, which were necessities for southern farmers and fisherman. Disease decimated both cash and food crops in the 1880s; malaria and other plagues also wreaked havoc on southern Italy at this time. Additionally, several earthquakes, Mount Etna and Mount Vesuvius in the early 1900s destroyed cities and killed tens of thousands of people.
During this time, many people in southern Italy seemed to find conditions in the United States to be particularly beneficial. In the industrialized US, pay for the same task may be three times more for both skilled and unskilled workers than in the struggling Italian economy. In cities like Boston and New York, even illiterate day laborers could find better-paying employment with better working conditions. Italian immigrants from the late nineteenth century were sometimes referred to as "birds of passage"—young men who came on their own, worked hard to support their family back home and bought land before eventually returning to Italy. Many Italian immigrants did not see their departure for the United States as a rejection of their homeland. The money sent home served to maintain the established order, thus in essence, it was a defense of the Italian way of life. Instead of looking for long-term residences, they sought employment opportunities in order to build up their savings and return to their own countries in search of better lives. However, patterns of immigration shifted after World War I, and more Italian immigrants started to bring their families over and establish long-term roots in the area.
