Italian Citizenship Seminar

Convivio, a nonprofit dedicated to strengthening community through the celebration of Italian culture and heritage in San Diego, will host Italian Citizenship in 2026, an informative seminar exploring the latest legal developments, court decisions and pathways to Italian citizenship for individuals and families with Italian ancestry. The event will take place Thursday, Nov. 19, from 4 to 7 p.m. at AmiciBar, located at 250 W. Date St. in San Diego.  Featuring experts joining from Italy and the Italian American community, the seminar will provide attendees with insights into the evolving legal framework surrounding Italian citizenship and what recent changes may mean for those considering pursuing citizenship. The discussion will be led by Avv. Andrea Poletto, attorney at law and managing partner of LLPT Legal, alongside Emmanuela Soldano, a current COMITES Los Angeles member and candidate in the upcoming election with Lista Civica Tricolore.  Topics will include key changes to Italian citizenship laws, recent court decisions and their practical implications, and potential pathways to citizenship for individuals and families with Italian ancestry. Speakers will also explore related opportunities involving residency, relocation, real estate, and family planning. An expert-led question-and-answer session will give attendees the opportunity to ask questions and gain further insight into the issues most relevant to them.  The event will include complimentary small bites and drinks. Admission is $12.50 per person, with proceeds supporting Convivio’s nonprofit programs, cultural events, and ongoing efforts to preserve and celebrate Italian cultural heritage in San Diego.  Space is limited, and reservations are required.
