About this episode
The citizenship referendum, which asked Italy’s citizens to weigh in on the possibility of lowering the residency requirement for naturalization from 10 years to 5, has now come to a close—but the result, and what it signals about public participation and the mechanics of triggering referendums, seems to be raising just as many questions as the vote itself. Residency-based naturalization, voter turnout, and the threshold for initiating referendums all come into play. In this episode of Ask The Italian Lawyer hosted by Italian attorney Marco Permunian and dual citizen expat podcaster Rafael Di Furia, we’ll learn the answer to the question: what are the results and what actually happened in this latest Italian citizenship referendum?For help with the Italian citizenship process and more information about Italian Citizenship Assistance visit ICA's website:https://ItalianCitizenshipAssistance.comFor help with buying a home in Italy, and more information about Italian Real Estate Lawyers visit IREL's website:https://ItalianRealEstateLawyers.comTo contact Italian Attorney Marco Permunian and his team at Italian Citizenship Assistance & Italian Real Estate Lawyers:https://italiancitizenshipassistance.com/contact/https://italianrealestatelawyers.com/contact-us/To see more from Rafael Di Furia about life in Italy and life as a dual-citizen expat check out his YouTube channel and website:Http://YouTube.com/RafaelDiFuriaHttp://RafaelDiFuria.com#citizenshipbynaturalization #italiancitizenship #italiandualcitizenship
