Gustavo Monasterios, a 47-year-old Venezuelan, made headlines after successfully appealing a restrictive citizenship law in Italy that had barred many descendants of Italian emigrants from obtaining citizenship. His efforts culminated in a landmark ruling by Italy's supreme court, which overturned the so-called 'minor issue' that had prevented him and many others from claiming their Italian heritage.
