A United Front for Citizenship

In these months of legislative uncertainty and jurisdictional turbulence, I deemed it essential not only to monitor every evolution of Law 74/2025, but also to confer with other leading professionals in this field to offer my clients a robust and multifaceted technical perspective.

It is with great pleasure that I host today on ItalyGet the contribution of my esteemed colleague Flavia Di Pilla, with whom I actively collaborate on the strategic analysis of the most complex cases. She has produced an “immediate” analysis of Judgment No. 63/2026 of the Constitutional Court, just published, which marks a turning point — though not a definitive one — regarding the constitutional legitimacy of the reform.

My analysis of this ruling is available in video format on my YouTube channel. Below follows the in-depth legal analysis by Avv. Flavia Di Pilla.

Judgment No. 63/2026: What the Constitutional Court States

Constitutional Court Judgment No. 63/2026, published on April 30, 2026, represents a significant milestone in the legal landscape of citizenship jure sanguinis. The Court upheld the constitutional legitimacy of Law 74/2025, dismissing the questions raised by the Ordinary Court of Turin concerning the alleged violation of Articles 3, 22, and 117 of the Constitution.

However, the Court left several crucial questions open. In particular, it did not resolve the issue of protecting the legitimate expectations of applicants who took formal steps prior to the reform’s entry into force. This question has now been deferred to the United Sections of the Court of Cassation, which are tasked with delivering definitive guidance.
