Has anyone had a consulate bypass 1912 law?

Over 25 million Italians have emigrated between 1861 and 1960 with a migration boom between 1871 and 1915 when over 13,5 million emigrants left the country for European and overseas destinations.

My understanding of the 1912 problem is that it only applies (and only in some consulates) to naturalizations before that date, the theory being that Italy, at that time, considered the naturalization to apply to all minor children, not only those born in Italy. If your GGGF never naturalized, his children would retain Italian citizenship.

Mule' is correct in that naturalization before 1912 may present a problem at some consulates.
