Non-EU nationals generally need ten years of legal residence in Italy, while EU citizens generally need four years, and these periods are shorter for some special categories.
Naturalisation by residence is based on having lived legally and continuously in Italy for a qualifying period. For non-EU nationals the standard requirement is ten years of legal residence.
EU citizens have a reduced requirement of about four years, and certain other groups, such as stateless persons or refugees, may have shorter terms. The residence must be legal and continuous, so gaps or periods without proper status can affect whether you meet the threshold.
