We moved our family from the US to Italy for citizenship, then Italy changed the rules. We're not sure where to go next.
- A U.S. family moved to Turin in 2024 so the husband could claim Italian citizenship by descent and to give their kids a more affordable, family-friendly life.
- Italy changed its citizenship rules shortly after they arrived, retroactively affecting minors and leaving the family suddenly rejected and in legal limbo.
- They're now pursuing a court case (scheduled for Jan. 2027) while weighing whether to stay in Italy, return to the U.S., or try nearby Spain for stability.
