All over the world, at least 100 million citizens have the right to be recognized as Italian. Added to the over 60 million residents of the Bel Paese, united by their millenary culture, they would form one of the most powerful and prosperous communities in modern history. WE ARE an actor in this multi-identity process.
THE ETERNAL PEOPLE.
A vast community to discover: the ITALIANS.

CULTURE
Italians have codified the Law, painted “La Gioconda”, invented the telephone and manufactured Ferrari. Millions have migrated across the planet.
Today, their descendants are called to unite and recognize themselves as a modern, multi-ethnic community, whose DNA is millennial culture.
The spirit of Italiani is to ensure that the community of Italians abroad is recognized, on the other hand to make Italians discover the value of Italian Culture in the world to rediscover roots that for some are very distant. .
What we want with Italiani is to propose Italian beauty in the broadest sense of the term, so that everyone can identify with it and link to it with their “Italian soul”.
CITIZENSHIP
The Italian Constitution, in its Article 1, says that “the son or daughter of an Italian citizen is an Italian citizen by birth.”
We at Italiani believe in the importance of helping this immense number of Italians descendants to become aware of the fact that they belong to the Italian people, something which goes beyond the physical borders of the Italian territory.
Citizenship also encompasses a whole series of cultural and linguistic concepts and notions that make us “citizens” and make us belong to a certain group.
Due to the large presence of Italians on the five Continents, to be an Italian citizen is to be, in some way, a citizen of the world.
LANGUAGE
Language is a vehicle for culture and civility. Speaking the same language brings us together with our fellow citizens. Anyone who knows Italian can read the Gattopardo and retain that “everything has to change so that nothing changes.”; explore human nature in the Divina Commedia; understand why in Italy there are signs that prohibit conduct “severely” (as if prohibiting were not enough).
To access the Italian cultural and legislative landscape and promote true integration, we believe that knowing the Italian language is essential to foster unity and the ability to forge closer relationships with one’s own culture.
A THOUSAND WAYS TO LIVE. A WAY TO BE. WE ARE ITALIANS.

the "Italiani" Manifesto
Join us by signing our Manifesto!
- We want to give a new reading on the social, economic and cultural impact of Italian emigration in the world.
- We believe that citizens of Italian origin around the world must recognize one another and act as the powerful global community they are.
- We believe that just as the remittances of italian emigrants to Italy were significant sources of economic exchanges, the investments of their descendants will represent an unexpected capital but of great added value.
- We believe in the urgency of (RE) CONNECTING ITALIAN DESCENDANTS WITH THE CULTURE and LANGUAGE OF THE BEL PAESE.
- We want to help overcome the legal and administrative barriers that Italian descendants must face in order to obtain recognition of Italian citizenship.
- We believe that freedom of movement represents a fundamental good of human beings and that dual citizenship contributes to its realization.
- We believe that being Italian is a way of thinking and facing life, of understanding the concepts of beauty and justice, of belonging to composite and ancient roots.
- We believe that all those who have the right of citizenship must obtain it. The first step is to know what their rights are.
- We believe that Italiani can make a contribution to building the modern identity of a millenary culture
- We believe in people and we aim to give value to each individual and their history, without discrimination or prejudice.
