How to obtain Italian citizenship
Attorney Susanna Tosi and the entire team at Avvocato Cittadinanza help foreign nationals obtain Italian citizenship.
"In the past 20 years, 20,000 foreign nationals have approached us, thousands of whom were unable to become Italian. It is this experience that today allows us to reduce wasted time and mistakes."

Lawyer Susanna Angela Tosi
The Italian state has broad power in deciding whether or not you deserve to become an Italian citizen. This is why many people never succeed in becoming one.
According to the law, it is not enough to have income, residency and no convictions; you have to prove that you deserve to become Italian.
(art 9 law 91/1992, ex multis judgment 14089/2025 Reg Prov Coll Tar lazio)
Why Turn to Us for the Application for Italian Citizenship?
Enhancing your integration journey
We are committed to proving that you deserve to become an Italian citizen. We introduce you to the Italian state.
We value your story, showing how you started and where you got to, making it as clear as possible that you are a valuable resource for Italy.
During our consultation we will give you a complete check-up on the level of integration you have achieved, making the most of your journey.
Such an in-depth survey the CAF does not do, for the CAF you are just numbers, applications to be submitted, instead we VALUE WHO YOU ARE, WHAT YOU ARE IN ITALY.
We reduce the state's doubts! We increase the strength of your application by building solid and well-documented practices. The law provides a maximum term of 2 years ( 3 in case of extension) to obtain Italian citizenship but very rarely this term is respected by the Italian State. There are clients who after 4,5 years still have not become one. We not only enforce the deadline but we can manage to get it before that deadline.Look at the reviews. You get it sooner with us than with CAF and other agencies.
The higher your level of integration the sooner you become Italian, the better your chances of becoming Italian. This is what the law says.
The state has no interest in making you Italian, so our goal will be to prove that you are and will be a RESOURCE, RICHNESS TO THIS STATE. We will introduce you to the Italian state.

Talking to the Italian bureaucracy is difficult (we do it for you)

We help you apply for and obtain Italian citizenship
There are many foreign citizens in Italy who would be entitled to obtain citizenship.
Only a few of them, however, succeed in obtaining it, and this is because:
Many foreigners are unable to become Italian citizens even though they meet all the requirements, due to the complexity of the process and the need to satisfy stringent criteria—including proving to the government that they deserve to become Italian citizens.
They submit incomplete or incorrect documentation (a small mistake in the documents is enough to stop the file)
They do not respond to Prefecture communications (causing their application to lapse)
They have had problems with the law (even a small conviction received many years earlier can cause the citizenship application to be rejected if not handled properly)
They don't apply even though they are entitled to it (read what benefits come with Italian citizenship)
"With 20,000 consultations given behind us, it is difficult not to know where doubts, errors or slowdowns may arise. Each request is methodically followed up by a group of lawyers who deal with Italian citizenship every day and work together on each case."
