Could a line from Cassano all'Ionio qualify for Italian citizenship?
Between 1830 and 1912, at least 411 passengers from Cassano all'Ionio arrived in the United States. Arrivals peaked in 1912. If one of them is your ancestor, Italy may recognize you as a citizen under jure sanguinis (citizenship by descent).

The checker goes back through your line one generation at a time. It is not legal advice, and it does not search for records.
