Has an Italian citizenship claim ever been started in your name?
Italy — Citizenship by Descent
The reform bites from 23:59 Rome time on 27 March 2025 and leaves earlier claims alone — those are still judged under the old law, which set no limit on how far back the Italian ancestor sat.

A claim that was refused still counts here, and may count for more than you think — one of the commonest grounds of refusal was overturned in 2026.
Yes — it was lodged, my appointment was booked, or my court case was filed before 27 March 2025 → I have already been recognised — I hold Italian citizenship → Yes — I applied at some point, and it was refused → I was trying to get a consulate appointment before 27 March 2025, but never got one → No — nothing has ever been filed for me → I'm not sure →
