The mayor of Italy’s Rimini municipality has proposed granting citizenship to children of third-country nationals, SchengenVisaInfo reported.

Jamil Sadegholvaad, who is also Persian, has urged the central government to grant citizenship to the 1.3 million students who have completed at least one school cycle in Italy.

He was of the view that giving citizenship to the children of non-EU citizens in Italy through the completion of at least one school cycle in the country was the “best way to integrate them into the society”.

There are currently 3,500 minors born to foreign parents in Rimini who do not have Italian citizenship.
