On July 31, 2025, the Italian Constitutional Court issued a ruling (Sentenza no. 142/2025) regarding Italian citizenship by descent (jure sanguinis). The court upheld the validity of citizenship by descent, emphasizing that it is a right automatically acquired at birth and not subject to arbitrary restrictions. This decision is significant as it may pave the way for descendants of Italians to challenge recent restrictions on citizenship by descent, particularly those introduced by the 2025 reforms.
