Italian word of the day:

✨ A quanto pare [ak.kwan.toˈpaːre] ✨
Pronounced: ah kwahn-toh pah-reh

This phrase means “apparently” or “based on what people are saying,” perfect for sharing information you’ve heard but aren’t 100% sure of.

Example:
“A quanto pare the meeting is cancelled.” (Apparently, the meeting is cancelled.)
It’s the Italian way of passing along news or gossip with a touch of certainty… sort of.

Ever heard something secondhand and weren’t quite sure? That’s A quanto pare! 👇

If you've been following the Italian citizenship by descent news, you've probably seen the term "additive judgment" (sentenza additiva) pop up lately.

Here's what it means — in plain English.

⚖️ An additive judgment is when the Constitutional Court doesn't strike down a law entirely. Instead it says:

💬 "This law is unconstitutional not because of what it says, but because of who it leaves out."

👇 Why does this matter right now?

📜 Law 74/2025 protects those who had a consular appointment before March 27, 2025. But it says nothing about applicants who were actively trying, collecting documents, booking Prenot@mi, hiring attorneys and simply couldn't get an appointment because the system was overwhelmed.

📅 On June 9, 2026, this argument was made directly in front of the Court. The question is now whether a future case frames it precisely enough for the Court to rule on it.

We're monitoring developments daily.

🗞️New press recognition

Aprigliano International Law Firm has been featured in Economy Mirror, with a detailed analysis of two landmark rulings issued by the Court of Bologna after the Tajani Decree came into force.

The article examines how Ruling No. 3335/2026 and Ruling No. 4038/2026 have opened a narrow but concrete path for US citizens seeking Italian citizenship by descent, recognizing that documented action taken before March 27, 2025 carries legal weight, even without a confirmed consular appointment.

As Economy Mirror notes, the key distinction is no longer just genealogy. It is the evidence of intent: emails to consulates, failed Prenot@mi bookings, signed mandates. Concrete steps that a judge can evaluate and that our firm has built its litigation strategy around from day one.

For those who had not yet acted before the reform, the European route remains open, and is currently the most promising ground.

⚖️ When it comes to Italian citizenship by descent, documentation is only part of the picture. The other part — and increasingly the more important one — is legal strategy.

🔍 Understanding which legal framework applies to your case, how courts are currently interpreting the law, and what arguments are most likely to succeed today: this is what separates a well-prepared case from one that stalls.
📋 The legal landscape has shifted. A strong strategy accounts for that.

🇮🇹 Italy had a consular booking system for citizenship by descent applications. In many countries, waitlists stretched for years.

📋 Thousands of applicants collected documents and monitored the system — sometimes for years — waiting for a slot.

📅 On March 27, 2025, a reform introduced a cutoff date. Those with a confirmed appointment before that date were protected. Those without one were not, regardless of how long they had been waiting.

⚖️ On June 9, 2026, defense attorneys raised this issue in front of Italy's Constitutional Court. They argued that applicants who had already activated the process but couldn't get an appointment due to circumstances beyond their control should also be protected.

🔍 Whether the Court will rule on this specific point depends on how it interprets the scope of the referral orders before it.

⏳ The Court has not yet issued a ruling.

We are monitoring developments and will publish updates as soon as there is news.
