Could my mom and I qualify for Italian citizenship by descent in this situation?

Do I Qualify?

Hi everyone,
I’m trying to figure out whether my family might qualify for Italian citizenship by descent (jure sanguinis), especially after the recent changes to the law.
Here’s my situation:
My great-grandfather was an Italian citizen.
My mom has not applied for Italian citizenship yet.
I was wondering if my mom could first apply and be recognized as an Italian citizen, and then if I could apply afterward through her.
I know there are a lot of factors that matter, like when my great-grandfather naturalized (if he did), where everyone was born, and the recent rule changes, but before I spend a lot of time gathering documents, I’m just trying to understand whether this is even a path that could still be possible
