Italian law about citizenship is fucking stupid. If you have a great-great-grandaprent Italian, you're Italian.

If you are born in Italy by not-italian parents, if you do the Italian schools and so on, you must wait 18 years old and start a burocratic procedure...

to be precise, you can go back to the glory days of the 19th century and earlier...

 

the only important thing is that the "line" has never been broken by someone by giving up the Italian citizenship he/she originally held (and unfortunately there are many people with Italian ancestry that are not eligible anymore to get the Italian passport because of their origin because some of his/her relatives had to give up their Italian one -because of lack of interest rather than because of the law of the place where they live/lived, as some Countries don't allow the double nationality)...

 

p.s. our current law on Nationality is the best possible one...for sure better than the fuckin' ius soli they want impose right now...:hairpull:

Same with Ireland.  Presumably both written at a time when both countries were poor & everyone wanted to get their rich oncles d’amerique back into the motherland

yeah, it was written just after WW II, when we tried to get all those who escaped fascism era by shipping to the American continent back...

 

most Italian laws are very, very old and only some of them have been adapted to the modern age...it's one of our problems (still, I think this nationality law is good, better than the new one they -the politicians from the lefty parties only, to be precise...it's definitely not the common feeling of all the already Italian citizens- want to establish)...

even worse...:facepalm:

 

ius soli is already there...after full 5 years of residence if you're from an EU Country (10 if you're extra-UE) you can already ask for our citizenship...

 

there's no need to give up our passports easier than now (I can only accept to give our passport to those guys who are born in Italy from foreign parents, but only after the age of 15 and only if they have always lived and gone to school here...they must somehow show they're fully integrated into our social system and they fully respect and live our culture, traditions and law)...

    • If lacrosse can be selected then I don't see why Australian rules football can't be selected if they get Olympic sport recognition. Australia will obviously dominate, but there's enough other nations to make a tournament.   As for netball, a women's only event is still much more likely to be accepted than a men's only event. Australia and the netball federation can spin it as bringing equality to the number of men's and women's events (while obviously ignoring that there will be more women at the Olympics).
    • The NFL are pushing had to develop flag football in Australia in hopes of getting it included in 2032. I hope they fail tbh.   Single gender sports fail the gender equality requirement so netball is out unless they can rapidly fix their gender problem. World Netball not so long ago was refusing utterly to sanction men's international netball or even support the growth of men's netball so they kind of sabotaged themselves and are only changing courses out of self interest because Brisbane was awarded the Olympics.   It doesn't even make sense to propose Aussie rules given how poor the participation is outside of Australia.
    • - Great Britain Team Size Prediction for Winter Olympic Games 2026 Milano Cortina   Ski Sports   Alpine Skiing  (4) - The qualification system is a bit confusing, but from what I gather the team is Guaranteed 2 quotas (one for each gender), and then more are given for rankings. I can only see 1 female qualifying, but the men's team is a bit stronger, and could improve with some juniors coming through. I would say a baseline of 3, with a max of 5, 6 if things really improve.  Cross Country Skiing  (3) - The men's team came 11th in the world cup last year, and with some good results could move up to top 10 which would give 3 quotas, The women's team is non existant.  Ski Jumping  (0) - Nope Nordic Combined  (0) - Nope Freestyle Skiing  (6) - Based on last year rankings, the athletes are ranked: M Moguls (26/30), M Ski Cross (26/32), M Halfpipe (33/25), M Slopestyle (39+40/30) W Moguls (23+42/30), W Halfpipe (3/25), W Big Air (5/30), W Slopestyle (19+22/30)  Barring Injury , thats 2 quotas on the women's side, and I would predict 4 more, with a max team of 7 or 8. Snowboarding  (2) - W Halfpipe (34/25) is the only unknown quota, as both Charlotte Bankes and Mia Brookes should qualify easily. Huw Nightlingale may get a spot for the Mixed Team snowboard cross but I don't know how it works. Biathlon  (0) - Nope Ski Mountaineering  (0) - Nope     Skating Sports   Speed Skating  (2) - Cornelius Kersten and Elia Smelding should qualify, although they both haven't competed this year. Short Track Speed Skating  (2) - A team of 5 went to the world but only a couple could really qualify Figure Skating  (4) - Fear and Gibson should qualify, and the pair team is ranked 16th in the world with 19 qualifiers.      Sleigh Sports   Luge  (0) - Nope Skeleton  (6) - A full team is certainly on the cards, but with only ranking points from the next season counting a lot could change Bobsleigh  (6) - Brad Hall and Co should qualify for both 2 and 4 man. I doubt any more will qualify from the mens side. Adele Nicholl on the womens should also qualify in both events     Team Sports   Curling  (12) - Anything but a full team would be a dissapointment Ice Hockey  (0) - The men were the only chance       Total Optimistic Prediction  -  (60) Total Pessimistic Prediction  - (32)   Total Realistic Prediction  -  (47)
