This is the news we have been waiting for. The Tribunal has officially referred a question of constitutionality to the Constitutional Court regarding the new Article 3-bis. Specifically, they are challenging the retroactive application of these limits, arguing that stripping citizenship rights from those who were born before the law changed may violate fundamental constitutional principles (Articles 3, 22, and 117).

"Someday," you tell yourself, "I will move there. Someday, when the timing is perfect. Someday, when I’ve done enough research." But here is the hard truth we see every day at Viamonde: "Someday" is a trap. It feels safe, but it is actually the biggest risk you can take. While you are waiting for the stars to align, the world is moving. Laws change. Income requirements shift. Borders tighten. The "perfect time" doesn't exist—but the right time is usually right now.

A recent judgment by the Court of Reggio Calabria, published on November 13, 2025, has successfully granted Italian citizenship jure sanguinis to a family of 15 applicants. This groundbreaking case involved a complex "mixed" lineage—tracing back to a Calabrian ancestor who emigrated to the United States—where citizenship was transmitted partly before and partly after 1948 across four generations.

At Viamonde, our Roots and Immersion tourism isn’t about ticking boxes. It is about understanding that your Italian citizenship is more than a binder of documents; it is a living, breathing culture. We take you down the dirt roads to meet the vignaioli (winemakers)—the families who have tended the same soil for generations.
