How can I obtain Italian citizenship through my partner’s ancestry?

My partner has an Italian ancestor from his mother’s side. His grandparents left Italy in the 1950s and didn’t return nor did they register him as a citizen. He is now working on getting his Italian citizenship. Once he does that, would I be able to also be an Italian citizen as his spouse if we don’t intend to live there? Or is living in the country a condition?

You do not need to live in Italy to apply for citizenship by marriage.
