@SecularTechnology Columbus is ITALIAN not Spanish. Columbus discovered America and that discovery is an Italian discovery.

[draziom902]

@metalmilitia1977 You're not Italian. You're just trying to find excuses that Columbus did not discover America. The majority of the world disagree's with you. You cant argue with facts. You know nothing and think you're intelligent. You're not on my level of intelligence.

@draziom902 colombus was italian but he discovered America under the umbrella of Spain who financed the trip & also he didnt get there by himself he had Spanish sailors with em so to say America is an italian discovery is such a bold statement! and the people who really "discovered" America were the first human beings who ever got there which are the so called native-americans anyway so...

No worries. I was just writing down how it was in my town. I had a great experience growing up with people of Italian descent, and nobody has better food anywhere! I've heard them say American, Italian, and Italian-American.

@dgoren121692 Hi, Believe you me, I am not in any way trying to deny anyone their heritage. I understand completely what you're saying. My father is first generation American; his parents emigrated from Italy. I do not deny that rich heritage nor would I want to in any way. When I'm in Italy, the Italians are so warm and embracing that they refuse to admit that I'm American. As soon as I say my dad is Italian, that's it, I'm ITALIAN law or no law.  However, I am still American. Regards, Carina

That's true, but I grew up in Northern Jersey in the '60s an '70s, in a town with a lot of Italians, and had lots of Italian friends. We called them Italians. Sure, they are among the proudest American citizens, but they didn't seem to mind also being called Italians. Where I grew up, there were Jewish kids, Italian kids,and Irish kids (mostly). That's the way we did it, and everyone got along pretty well.

I LOVE ITALIAN FOOD AND ITS INFLUENCE ALL OVER THE WORLD BUTTTT JUST LIKE ANY OTHER CUISINE ITALIAN FOOD HAS ALSO BEEN INFLUENCED BY OTHER CULTURES...FOR EG... SPAGHETTI CAME FROM CHINA BCOZ OF MARCO POLO, THEN TOMATOES ARE ORIGINALLY FROM MEXICO SO BEFORE THE DISCOVERY OF THE AMERICAS ITALIANS DID NOT KNOW ABOUT TOMATOES...

@carina2244 Well, this is what the official gov website tells about the italian citizenship criteria:

- Citizenship can be transmitted by descent “iure sanguinis”

- Acquisition “iure soli” (by birth on the territory) in given cases

- Dual citizenship is recognized

- Explicit statement of will is necessary to acquire or loose citizenship

Please note that because since 1992 dual citizenship is recognized, you can have even US citizenship because of the Ius Soli.

It's crystal clear, imho.

@GeorgieSuperWOW Hi, in this instance, Jus Soli pertains to claiming automatic birthright citizenship in the United States.Your assertion that Jus Sanguinis automatically makes you Italian is incorrect. There are very precise stipulations that would allow you to claim being Italian if born in a foreign country. Also, because Jus Sanguinis is recognized in Italy, and not in the U.S. if you're born in the U.S., you're American with few exceptions (e.g., diplomatic or consular births). Regards.
