Hi! Sorry if I can’t write this post in Italian, I learnt Italian in school but didn’t have the occasion to practice for more than a decade… thus I’m more than a little rusted! But I still understand, if you accept that I answer in English you can answer me in Italian.

Yesterday, I learnt that my great-grandfather, who flew fascism and came to France, never became French. Thus, if I understand correctly what I have read, my grandfather, as the son of an Italian, was Italian, even if he never asked for his nationality to be recognized. And this nationality comes further to me.

Does it actually works like that? If I prove that my great-grandfather was Italian when my grandfather was born, could I acquire the Italian nationality?
