Article 18-bis, paragraph 2-bis, cited above, whose violation is alleged by the appellant, must be read in conjunction with paragraph 2 of the same provision, according to which the criteria for assessing the lawful and effective residence or domicile in Italy of the requested person concern a foreign national who “lawfully and effectively resides or is domiciled continuously for at least five years in the territory of the Italian State.” Therefore, in the case of a person who, by his own admission, has been residing in Italy for no more than one year and six months, it is indisputable that the invoked provision cannot apply.
