The proposed amendments outlined in 'Disegni di legge Atto Senato nº 752' regarding the reform of Italian citizenship law: restrictions' impacts on South America descendants seeking recognition of dual citizenship.

.This research examines Bill No. 752, introduced by Senator Roberto Menia on June 7, 2023, which proposes amendments to the Italian citizenship law, specifically regarding the recognition of citizenship ius sanguinis which may directly affect the Italian descents living abroad. The analysis focuses on the implications of the proposed requirements, including the Italian language proficiency exam and a one-year residency in Italy for applicants with generational links exceeding three generations. It explores the ius sanguinis principle as enshrined in the Italian Constitution and contrasts citizenship recognition by descent with the governmental granting through marriage and residency. Employing a comprehensive documentary research methodology, this work integrates quantitative data from Italian governmental sources, legislative frameworks and relevant literature from both Italian and Brazilian contexts. The thesis also delves into historical migration patterns of Italians to South America, focusing on Brazil and assesses recent demographic governmental initiatives which go against the idea proposed by the Senator with the aim to restrict the citizenship recognition by descent. Ultimately, it aims to illuminate the complexities of recognizing Italian citizenship by descent and promote initiatives encouraging cultural reconnection with Italy.
