Italy is currently embroiled in a heated debate over citizenship laws, with Forza Italia proposing a new approach called "Ius Italiae.

" This proposal aims to simplify the process for children born or raised in Italy to gain citizenship, emphasizing cultural integration.

The initiative, led by Antonio Tajani, seeks to replace the controversial "Ius scholae" with a more palatable version for political allies.

The proposal includes reducing the waiting period for citizenship applications from three years to one and tightening rules for citizenship by descent.

While some political factions, like Italia Viva, show support, others remain skeptical, recalling past legislative changes that extended waiting times.

The discussion continues as Italy seeks a balanced approach to citizenship that respects both national identity and the rights of children with foreign origins.
