Many people live in Italy, but they do not have Italian citizenship. Some people, like Sonny, were born in Italy and have lived there all their lives. But they cannot get an Italian passport. They feel sad because they cannot vote or do some jobs.

There is a new vote in Italy. People can vote to make it easier to get Italian citizenship. If the law changes, people can ask for citizenship after five years, not ten. Children can also become citizens with their parents. But only people with Italian citizenship can vote, so many people cannot join the vote.

Some people in the government do not want this change. They tell people not to vote. Many people hope the law will change, but it is not easy. People like Sonny say they will keep trying for a better life in Italy.
