Answer 3

you're an English born Italian. Your lifestyle determines who you're, not the rustic in which your mom befell to be once you've been born. Oddly although, Italy is between the few international places that isn't entertain the idea of `twin` nationality, they received't enable anybody to personal an Italian passport, except that human being surrenders their `overseas` passport and declare to being a citizen of yet another us of a. I have 2 nephews who were born in Holland and lived there for ten years( even as their father worked for a Dutch company) by no potential-the- a lot less, they're English not Dutch. Oops ! I have purely considered that amania above me has written something resembling this. ( It purely is going to instruct how knowledgable we both are ! )

Answer 4

You would be an italian citizen. It's like a person whose parents are from Italy, but are born in America. We would say they are American, but we could also say they are Italian because of their heritage.

Answer 5

Rule 1 (art.1,Act no.91/1992)
No, if you get citizenship from any of your parent, according his country law.
Yes, if don't gain citizenship from either.

As general rule, you gain italian citizenship if you have any italian parent.
Act no.91/1992 added said secondary rule in order to prevent possible citizenshipless persons.

Rule 2 (art.4, co.2, Act no.91/1992)
Nevertheless, if you are born in Italy and you stay here until legal age (18 year), you have the option to become italian citizen. In this event, it's your choice and it isn't automatic

Answer 6

If you are a citizen of Italy then you are Italian regardless of where your parents were born.

Answer 7

No you are what is considered a Italian National. That means that you were born in the country, but not necessarily of the country's descent. If your parents are from the US, then you are an American citizen.

My niece is a German National-she was born in Germany while her father was in the military-so she is an American citizen, but she can claim German citizenship also.

Answer 8

Yes, as far as citizenship, but your heritage would still be whatever your parents were.

Of course if your parent(s) were in the non-Italian military it's possible you'd have citizenship from their home country.

Answer 9

Yes, by citizenship. By ethnicity, no.

My parents are Lebanese and Indian with a bit of European thrown in the mix. I was born in America. I tell people I'm American. But sometimes I throw my ethnicity in there :)

Answer 10

I don't believe so. But I bet you feel Italian at heart!
