Could your Preli line qualify for Italian citizenship?
The largest share of Preli arrivals came from Emilia-Romagna, most often from the provincia of Piacenza. If one of them is your ancestor, Italy may recognize you as a citizen under jure sanguinis (citizenship by descent).
The surname alone does not decide it. Each generation between that ancestor and you does: who naturalized, and when. Since the 2025 law, the number of generations matters too.
The checker goes back through your line one generation at a time. It is not legal advice, and it does not search for records.

Varianti grafiche
Spelling variants worth checking
- The spelling you know may not be the one in the records. For example, a family remembers Mansini, but the records read Mancini.
- If your spelling does not appear, a close variant in the list below may be the same family.
Variants are surfaced from the surname index, not from per-name research. None of these is guaranteed to be the same family as Preli.
