Brevi riflessioni sulla discrezionalità nel procedimento di acquisto della cittadinanza per naturalizzazione e sul ruolo del Giudice Amministrativo quale presidio rispetto ad un corretto esercizio del potere

Abstract

After framing, within the different legal channels of citizenship acquisition, the so-called'naturalization procedure’, the study focuses on the extent of the discretionary power granted to the Public Administration in order to express some brief considerations on the relationship between this wide discretionality and the possibilities of foreigners to satisfy their legitimate aspiration to become Italian citizens, as well as on the role played by the Administrative Judge as a safeguard against an illegitimate use of power.
