It established that, as a result of the Constitutional Court’s judgments No. 87 of 1975 and No. 30 of 1983, “Italian citizenship is reacquired, as of January 1, 1948, also by the child of a woman in the situation described, born before that date and while Law No. 555 of 1912 was in force, since the relationship of filiation, after the entry into force of the Constitution, entails the transmission to him or her of the status of citizen, which would have belonged to him or her by right in the absence of the discriminatory law.”
Therefore, according to the United Sections of the Court of Cassation, citizenship status must also be recognized for the son or daughter of an Italian mother born before the entry into force of the Constitution, and thus also before 1948.
