For thousands of people of Italian descent, June begins with a concrete question: Is the citizenship process still going to move forward?
The first answer may come on June 9th, at 9:30 AM Rome time, when the Constitutional Court holds a public hearing on three cases. (Mantova and Campobasso) against a law that restricted the recognition of Italian citizenship by descent (ius sanguinis).
At the heart of the discussion is Article 3-bis of Law 91/1992, included by Decree-Law 36/2025, known as Tajani Decree, and later converted into Law 74/2025. The rule limited requests based on jus sanguinis to cases filed up to March 27, 2025, a point that affected thousands of cases in Brazil and other countries.
The month's agenda is also demanding for those who live in or travel to Italy. There's a national rail strike on June 11th, the Festa della Repubblica holiday on the 2nd, and two tax deadlines: the IMU (Municipal Property Tax) on June 16th and the first installment of income tax on June 30th.
The impeachment decision will also be made in June.
In the same month, the Court of Cassation must conclude a trial. Parallel discussion on the transmission of Italian citizenship. The Sezioni Unite, the highest and binding body, has been analyzing two issues related to the topic since the hearing on April 14.
The verdict is expected around mid-June, on the 12th or 13th, although the deadline may be extended.
One of the issues concerns children of Italians born abroad who have had dual citizenship since birth. The court must assess whether they lost their citizenship during their minority, according to an interpretation of a 1912 law.
In May, the First Civil Section had already recognized, by ordinance 13818/2026Descendants who are barred from entering the country by consulates can directly take legal action in the Italian courts.
According to lawyers consulted by Italianismo, the two decisions have broad reach and may guide future proceedings.
