Abstract: Abstract This chapter aims to analyse the narratives emerging from the claims for the right to citizenship carried out by two Italian networks composed of people with migratory backgrounds: Italians without Citizenship and the National Coordination of New Italian Generations (CoNNGI). Analysing interviews with members of these two networks, as well as their public statements, two main narratives are evident: one proposes an expansion of the concept of Italian nationality including new generations with a migratory background who share the same cultural and linguistic features; another one proposes a vision of citizenship including new generations with a migratory background not according to their cultural features but on the basis of their actual participation in the Italian social community. The examples of these two groups stimulates the reflection on the categories of nation-state and belonging as intrinsically subject to continuous changes and re-significations.
