American Citizenship Through Ancestry
American Seeking Italian Citizenship? How Do I Do It?

I do not have any type of ancestry in Italy. My parents were both born in the U.S. as was I. I am simply intersted in relocating my residence to Italy.

How do I obtain Italian Citizenship? Do I have to relinquish my U.S. Citizenship? Can I hold Dual Citizenship?

What process must I go through?
If it means anything, I am independently employed and do not intend on working with any company in Italy.

How long am I allowed to reside in Italy before I have to seek citizenship?

You could be allowed to live in Italy indefinetely without being an Italian citizen even if you don’t work in Italy, as long as you can prove you can keep yourself and you have a place of residence.

If you don’t have any connection with Italy, you have to live ten years in Italy, then you can apply for citizenship. Or marry an Italian citizen and live six months in Italy or wait two years if living outside.

Italian-American dual citizenship is possible. I heard somebody saying US don’t allow that, but that’s not actually true, although if some issue may be rised, it more likable it’d be from US and not from Italy.

Urbanizing Citizenship examines processes of urbanization in contemporary Indian cities through the lens of urban citizenship. It provides a fresh understanding of the multiple arenas and practices through which citizenship and urbanism are co-constituted in India. Bringing together an interdisciplinary group of scholars working on India, this book looks closely at six Indian cities-Ahmedabad, Bengaluru, Kolkata, Delhi, Mumbai, and Varanasi-and examines a range of processes and contested urban spaces, thus exploring and analyzing their myriad implications for urban inhabitants and their right to the city. Through ethnographies and histories of the urban, this book unsettles theories generated in the Euro-American context to show how urban citizenship might be differently practiced, understood, and reconfigured within the Indian context.
