If this article is to be believed (and I do since it is a Canadian government site), even Rahul and Priyanka Gandhi are to be considered Italian Citizens. In the example shown, a person born in Canada of Italian parents went to Italy. The Italy govt. considered him (the Canadian-born person) to be an Italian citizen and he was asked to serve in the Italian Army. What if Rahul and Priyanka visit Italy and are asked by the Italian govt. to serve Italy in their war against another European country.

A Canadian from Toronto went to Italy with his Italian-born parents. He was informed by the Italian authorities that he was considered an Italian citizen and would be required to perform military service. He had to have family members in Toronto obtain certain documents and then have them certified by the Italian consulate before he was allowed to leave Italy.
