Book Chapter
Foreign Immigration, Citizenship and Italianità in the Peninsula
2013
Overview
This chapter analyzes the differentiated citizenship policies and political discourses as formulated in Italy during the liberal period in reference to two specific categories of foreigners: the Italiani non regnicoli and the non-Italian immigrants. Focusing on these two types of alienhood, the chapter first provides an overview of the historical context and a discussion over the multiple definitions of italianità that were articulated at the time. It then illustrates the generous citizenship strategies introduced for the first category of aliens, and examines notions of “citizenship” and “nationality”-as different terms-within a period of irredentist objectives. It surveys the citizenship status reserved for he non-Italian immigrants, and provides a systematic analysis of their individual files of “grand naturalization.” By exploring the use of jus soli up to 1922 vis-à-vis the second generations born in Italy, the chapter concludes with an additional comparison with contemporary Germany.
