Question 2.2
Those who are Italian citizens from birth must cross box 1 ("From birth"), even if born in a foreign country. An Italian citizen from birth is one:
a) Whose mother or father has Italian citizenship.
b) Who is born in Italy from a stateless mother and father, or a child who does not keep his father's or mother's citizenship, in
accordance with the laws of the country to which these belong.
c) Who is the child of unknown parents who was found in Italy and for whom there is no proof of other citizenship.
Anyone who made a special request to became an Italian citizen, and this request was approved by the appropriate Authorities, must cross box 2 ("Acquired, for example, through marriage, naturalization"). Box 2 must also be crossed by anyone who has "automatically" become an Italian citizen. For example, box 2 must be crossed by:
a) A minor who acquired Italian citizenship through adoption by an Italian citizen or by maternal or paternal recognition (or legal statement of filiation) by the Italian parent;
b) A live-in minor who acquired Italian citizenship;
c) Anyone who acquired Italian citizenship by marriage, ordinary or special naturalization, by birth in Italy where he/she uninterruptedly resided until the age of 18.
Anyone who crosses box 2 must also specify the previous foreign country of citizenship, in Latin letters and in Italian.
