A digital campaign for a referendum on Italian citizenship has surpassed its goal of 500,000 signatures, marking a significant mobilization on a divisive issue.

The referendum, initiated by +Europa, seeks to reduce the residency requirement for citizenship from 10 to 5 years.

This proposal, if approved by the Constitutional Court, could lead to a vote next spring.

The campaign gained momentum with endorsements from cultural and political figures, despite skepticism from some political leaders.

The digital platform for signature collection, introduced by Riccardo Magi, has proven effective in engaging citizens on this critical issue.

The outcome could impact approximately 2.5 million residents in Italy.
