M. Lucrecia Cucchiaro is an Argentine lawyer based in Spain, specializing in Italian citizenship by descent (iure sanguinis), with more than 25 years of professional experience. She is an associate of Kairós LBC, an Italian law firm with offices in Milan and Rome, where she heads the Department of Italian Citizenship and Immigration. ADN Italiano is her advisory brand for descendants of Italians.
Who is Lucrecia Cucchiaro
She works with families of Italian descent, assessing each case to determine the right route to Italian citizenship: consulate, residence in Italy, or the courts.
Her focus is what changed with Law 74/2025 and Article 3-bis: which cases are still viable, which fall under the exceptions, and which formal errors lead to rejections. She follows the case law of the Italian Constitutional Court, the Court of Cassation and the lower courts, and explains it in plain language.

Why Italian citizenship
Lucrecia is an Italian citizen by descent herself: she went through her own process around the year 2000. In her words:
“I share the keys to building your file, correcting documents and applying for citizenship that I wish I had known when I applied for mine.”
What ADN Italiano is
ADN Italiano is Lucrecia Cucchiaro’s advisory brand for Italian citizenship by descent. It is designed for people who want to understand their case with legal judgment before starting a process, and it is built on up-to-date legal content: laws, court decisions and the criteria of consulates and ministries.
| Service | For whom | What it includes | Price |
|---|---|---|---|
| Diagnostic consultation | You do not know whether your case is viable or which route to take | 45-minute analysis of your family tree and your situation | €67 |
| Technical file review | You have gathered your documents and want to avoid rejections for formal errors | Review of your documents and a written report | €67 |
| Court cases | You need to go to court in Italy | Filing and follow-up of the lawsuit before Italian courts, together with Kairós LBC (Milan and Rome) | Depends on the case |
ADN Italiano is not a document service and does not sell mass processing. It explains what can be done, what cannot, and what risks each route carries.
Who handles court cases: Kairós LBC, Milan and Rome
When a case needs to go to court in Italy, Lucrecia does the initial analysis and defines the strategy with the client, and Kairós LBC, an Italian law firm with offices in Milan and Rome and lawyers admitted before the Court of Cassation, files and handles the case before the Italian courts.
How she works
- Sources cited. Every legal statement rests on a law, a court decision or a circular you can check.
- Up-to-date content. Citizenship rules change often (Law 74/2025, Article 3-bis, Constitutional Court, Cassation, CJEU). Pages show their last update.
- No false urgency and no guaranteed results. No one can guarantee the outcome of a case, and ADN Italiano does not.
- Honesty about viability. If a case is not viable, you will be told, even if that means you do not hire us.
