Or your daughter could fall in love with a Brit and even if she gives birth here, the kids would get British citizenship from their father.
Not sure how mamy eligible British males live here though. There aren't any where I live. Right, well let's just keep our options open eh? :D |

Re: Italian Citizenship with marriage
I am english, married my Italian OH in 1971 and in those days Italian citizenship was automatic, I have always had dual nationality since then, with both a British and Italian passport. When we moved back to Italy in 2008 and I applied for a Tessera Sanitaria I was sent to the Ufficio Stranieri, and was grilled as to why I thought I was entitled to it, I just fumbled in my bag and showed him my Italian passport, I never said a word in explanation, why should I being straniera. My OH said "She's married to me and this was issued by the Italian Consulate in London". Our second son, born in Puglia applied for and obtained his British passport as both my parents and grandparents (and great, great grandparents were born in England). He was stopped at Pisa airport by two jobsworth PS policemen who looked at it and asked for his Italian ID card (it had expired!) and they told him even though you have a foreign passport if you are Italian you have to show a valid Italian ID card to expatriate. They let him through anyway. I kept Mum but was dying to say "just try stopping him travelling".

Perhaps I've missed something here (again).. :unsure: |

:confused: Why was he stopped if he had a Brit passport? because he "looks Italian"? Has an "Italian" name?

The worst is anyway when someone with African or Asian ancestry show them an Italian passport or ID, and they keep asking them for the residence permit, I just keep dreaming I could fire them on the spot. I do remember a specific instance where at the fifth or sixth refusal from the citizen in question to produce a residence permit, the policeman turned around and asked to a colleague, screaming for all to hear: "ma vero è che se gli danno la carta d'identità non hanno più bisogno del permesso di soggiorno, anche se non sono veri italiani?", and I doubt he realized he may have been being racist or insulting :o |

Perhaps I've missed something here (again).. :unsure: When he disembarked at Ciampino he ended up like my no. 2 son; being arrested on the spot for 'renitente alla leva'. I think at the time he must have been travelling on an Italian passport; but I don't know that for sure. I do know he had a hysterical wife and a grim two days sorting it. Did any of you see the classical b/w film 'Detenuto in attesa di giudizio' with Alberto Sordi? ciao for now, 'o nonno |

They were probably hoping he was going to show them an Italian passport full of visa stamps but with no tax sticks, and throw some hefty fine on his head, I have seen similar scenes before.

I can't help wondering why am I shocked, but not suprised, to hear of this kind of comment
Mind you - slightly OT - daughter had a 'brush' with a carabiniere the other night who stopped her when she was driving alone (in town) around midnight. Asking her all sorts of questions and making various comments ... I won't go into it. I was furious and wanted to make a complaint/report but she just said "leave it..they're all the same..". :( |

I was furious and wanted to make a complaint/report but she just said "leave it..they're all the same..". :( When they realised I wasn't Italian they asked me if I had a PdiS. I said "yes". They asked me where it was. I said "at home". They wanted to know why I didn't have it with me at all times so I said, "I'm not obliged to carry it with me as I have an Italian Identity Card. The comune won't give you an ID card if you don't have a PdiS." Mr bigshot replied "Signora - it is not for you to say what your obligations are or are not!" I knew it was best if I kept my mouth shut so said nothing. The two of them pretended to study all my papers for 10 minutes, then one of them gave them all back to me and just said "può andare."

Re: Italian Citizenship with marriage
Just quickly going off topic, I sit on the left hand side passenger seat in our right hand drive, 9 times out of 10, when we are flagged down we get a quick "Vada, vada" when they see it's a foreign car. I have also been shouted at to "look where you're going" when sleeping in that seat while driving over a railway level crossing:D
