Italy is a lovely nation with a fascinating culture. Italy is a popular destination for temporary visitors and those looking for a new home. It is known for its magnificent architecture, relaxed pace of life, and, of course, incredible cuisine.
Many of Italian descent are eligible for Italian citizenship under the "jure sanguinis" concept, which means "by right of blood." All claims for citizenship by descent are based on a traceable Italian ancestor who held "jus soli" or "by the soil" citizenship, which means they were born in Italy.
If you are of Italian origin, you may be able to get Italian dual citizenship based on this concept and enjoy the numerous advantages that come with it, such as an EU passport, access to school or high-level jobs abroad, and the right to own property in Italy.

There are five categories of personal eligibility for Italian Citizenship by ancestry
The following categories may assist you in determining which one applies to your condition:
Your father was an Italian citizen when you were born and was not a citizen of any other nation.
Your mother was an Italian citizen when you were born; she had no other citizenship, and you were born after January 1, 1948.
Before your father's birth, your paternal grandfather was born in Italy and was either a citizen or had the right to become one. This also applies if your mother passes these requirements and you were born after January 1, 1948.
Before your mother's birth, your maternal grandfather was born in Italy and was either a citizen or had the right to become one. This also applies if your mother passes these requirements and you were born after January 1, 1948
Your great-grandparents or great-great-grandparents fit these similar qualifications. They may have passed on their right to Italian citizenship when their child was born, and this right has been carried down to your generation in an unbroken line.
