CELI 4 (C1) for Italy

CELI 4 (C1) for Italy: what's actually required

CELI 4 (C1) is a required language qualification for Citizenship pathways in Italy, based on a single verified rule sourced directly from Prefettura / Ministero dell'Interno (Italy). This page reflects that one rule — not a general claim that CELI 4 (C1) is accepted everywhere in Italy. If your visa category, licensing body, or provincial/regional authority differs from what's described here, the real requirement may not match this page, and you should confirm directly with Prefettura / Ministero dell'Interno (Italy) before relying on it. You can still choose CELI 4 (C1), or any other exam, manually for your own application — a recommendation on ELAREH is never a restriction.
