Re: deepo shitto-passport refused - nationality revoked ,any ideas?

1.  You could well have Belgian citizenship, and could get a Belgian
passport from the Embassy in London.  This would protect you from
being kicked out of the UK, but do bear in mind that if you have
unresolved obligations in Belgium (such as military service) this can
cause problems.  Not only in terms of possibly not being able to get a
passport, but also problems if you return there.

2.  There's probably no entitlement to Italian citizenship.

3.  Did you father hold any form of British nationality or not?

4.  If not, as you have a UK born mother and were born in 1969, a
recent UK law change will allow you to register as a British citizen
by descent.

5.  However, naturalisation as a British citizen if that's possible
would be a better option as it would give you British citizenship
otherwise than by descent (and hence the ability to pass on British
citizenship to kids born outside the UK)

6.  If you do register as a British citizen, you will probably lose
your Belgian citizenship.  Check with the Belgian authorities in
writing if this is important to you.

7.  Sounds like you need some professional advice on sorting out your
status in the UK.  The IAS or JCWI might be able to assist.  Contact
