[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What haooened in 1948?[/quote]

Before 1948, Italian women couldn't pass citizenship down to their children.  Citizenship was passed only through the father.  In 1948, Italy wrote a new constitution and overturned that law.  However, when proving Italian citizenship through bloodline, if your ancestor is female and their child was born before 1948, you have to petition the court in Italy to have citizenship recognized.  That is why you must hire an Italian lawyer to file your case in court.

My father was born before 1948 and we're gaining citizenship through his mother, so we are a 1948 case.  It is a completely different process than it is for people who don't have a 1948 case.  They apply through their local Italian consultate and you don't need a lawyer for that.  We can't gain citizenship through my grandfather because he naturalized before my father was born so the line is considred cut.

There are a lot of other US and Italian laws that apply so it can get pretty complicated.[/quote]
