It is a dynamic register, while the census is a population count carried out at a given time, a static register.

This principle is the basis for most of the rejections of applications submitted to the municipalities (in Italy) or to the consulates; however, the “Corte di Cassazione Italiana” has in some cases shown a favorable orientation to the transmission of Italian nationality through the mother also to children born before the entry into force of the Italian Constitution; some court decisions, then, are conformed to these rulings.

Italian immigration in Colombia

“The happy and the powerful do not go into exile”. This reflection of Alexis de Tocqueville on European immigrants appears in Democracy in America, a classic text that gathers the impressions of his trip to the United States in 1831. The French thinker’s phrase perfectly reflects the condition of the Italians who emigrated there en masse at the end of the 19th and beginning of the 20th centuries.

Between 1820 and 1870 Italian emigration reached practically every corner of the world, although the bulk went to Argentina and Brazil and only about 25,000 settled in the United States, mostly from the north of their country. Suddenly, in the 1870s and 1880s, 300,000 arrived. In the following decade, 600,000. And in the first of the new century, more than two million.

By then they exceeded 10% of the foreign-born population of the U.S. What caused such a spectacular immigration?
