Court of Appeal of Milan, Judgment No. 2758/2012

“With regard to the requirement of residence, the merely registry-based data must be disregarded, and instead reference should be made to the applicant’s stable abode (…); taking into account that […] the lack of registration of his or her official residence was due solely and exclusively to the negligent conduct of the parents, who held parental authority and were therefore solely responsible for safeguarding the child’s interest in being lawfully registered within the State’s territory.”
