Italian Dual Citizenship Benefits
Composer Giuseppe Verdi summed it up best when he said “avrai tu l’universo, resti l’Italia a me.” You may have the universe if I may have Italy.
With some of the world’s most famous art and architecture, world-renowned cuisine, instantly recognizable fashion, world class design, and gorgeous countryside and cities alike, Italy is one of the world’s most beloved places.
For those seeking a return to their Italian roots, there is no better way of reclaiming their heritage than becoming an actual Italian citizen and a holder of the coveted red passaporto.
But having Italian dual citizenship is not just a sentimental project. When you become an Italian citizen, you become a holder of an EU passport. And believe us–there are a number of tangible, real world benefits of Italian dual citizenship.
