I remember there being a big deal when Veron got italian citizenship because his ancestary was a bit weak( i think it was a great grandparent, and even that was in question)

That seems a little strange from some of the stories my friends tell me but then again, those are just in passing conversation with people who may not know the laws very well and also the Veron situation was awhile ago.
