Why obtain italian citizenship?

Anyone who has lived (for a short or long time) in Italy and begins to feel part of its population knows the importance, as a personal conquest, of being recognized as an Italian citizen can be.

But what are the advantages of becoming Italian or Italian?

Above all, being an Italian citizen means giving stability and certainty to the life that one intends to build or already has on Italian soil.

Furthermore, having Italian citizenship means, nowadays, being citizens not only of Italy but also of Europe, and this is thanks to the high degree of integration within the European Union the country enjoys.

Firstly, this means being able to move freely within the borders of the so-called Schengen area (France, Germany, Holland, and others), circulating without the need for entry visas or passports, but only by showing one's national identity card. Last but not least, it means exercising the right to family reunification by bringing loved ones to live with them in the same territory.

Secondly, it means being able to find permanent jobs and be regularly hired not only in Italy but also throughout the European Union. It also means studying throughout the European Union without entry visas or residence permits.

For what’s more directly connected to Italian citizenship, first of all, being an Italian citizen means the Constitution will protect those civil rights reserved to citizens only: for example, free movement, free assembly, even in an open place, and free association.

Being an Italian citizen also means being the holder of the related political rights, contributing, with the right to vote and the right to be elected, to the political and cultural development of the country. The same is true, then, for the European Union since the Italian citizen has the right to vote and also for the constitution of its key bodies.

Furthermore, it means taking advantage of the social security treatments that the State guarantees, such as sickness, old-age pension, unemployment benefits, basic income, and others.

Not to mention the right to be protected abroad by the Italian diplomatic authorities and those of the other member countries of the European Union.

For all these reasons, it is worth fighting to be recognized or recognized as an Italian citizen.
