Presidente del Consiglio, Ministri e doppia cittadinanza: tra “conflitti di fedeltà” e apertura internazionale

The article studies the constitutional issues connected to the possible case of a President of the Council (or a Minister) with double (or multiple) citizenship. The issues are framed in the context of the constitutional duties of the members of the Government in the Italian constitutional system (that require a special level of allegiance to the Republic) on the one hand, and of the international openness and pluralism that the Italian Constitution embraces on the other. The article argues that while it is not possible to infer a general rule on the matter at hand from the Constitution, single problematic cases should be handled within the perimeter of the constitutional controls on national policy.
