Just to clarify, if you have Italian ancestry (grandparents or parents), you can apply for Italian dual citizenship which would would then give you an EU passport without having to actually move there. At least as far as I understand.

My wife is half Italian and we've been seriously thinking of emigrating from the US to somewhere in the EU and we've been exploring options.

I'm not condoning a Brexit vote by any means, but I just wanted to clarify that getting an Italian passport does not automatically mean that they're abandoning the UK.

Lastly, and this may be unpopular, but I think the guy should be given a little credit for at least admitting his mistake. I'm stuck in a pro Trump state and am surrounded by idiots that are going to vote for that dumb fuck for a third time and I wish there were more people here that would admit their mistake.
