Rights, not just permission
If you hold an EU, EEA or Swiss passport, no visa is needed to live in Italy. If Italian blood runs in your family, you may reclaim citizenship outright. Two routes, one goal: live in Italy with rights.
فئتان متمايزتان وهدف واحد: العيش في إيطاليا بحقوق لا بإذن فقط. مواطنو الاتحاد الأوروبي يتمتعون بحرية التنقل؛ ومن هم من نسل إيطاليين يمكنهم استعادة الجنسية بالدم.

EU, EEA and Swiss citizens enter freely and stay ninety days. Beyond that, register your residence (iscrizione anagrafica) at the comune and show one qualifying ground: work, study with health cover, or sufficient resources.
After five continuous years of registered residence, the right of permanent residence kicks in and strips out the underlying conditions. Family members can register alongside the worker, student or self-funded resident.
Citizenship passes jure sanguinis, by descent rather than birthplace. A recognised claim means an Italian passport, full EU rights, and no immigration paperwork at all. The documentation is heavy and the line must be clean.
The March 2025 decree narrowed new claims, generally to applicants with an Italian parent or grandparent born in Italy. The 1948 female-line cases still proceed before the Court of Rome. We assess the line and the transitional rules.
We read the family line, the evidence, and the post-2025 limits, then tell you which track, free movement or recognition, actually fits.
