Thanks. I think that is true everywhere.

Knowledge can only be obtain from asking questions and searching for the answers.
I am grateful for all the feed back on this topic. But I would like to hear from Italian citizens living in Italy, how they feel about dual Italian citizenship. Are they for it or against it.

I believe you are right. Our ancestors left Italy for a better life here. When life got to rough there, they took the first ship out. I don't blame Italians living in Italy for looking unfavorable toward us. I would probably feel the same way, if I were on the other side. Taxing citizens aboard woul...

What does the Italian Gov have to gain from granting us dual citizenship? If they want us so bad, why are the Italian Consulates making it so difficult for us?

I think she will mail a letter to the comune using their letterhead.

To date I have not rec'd a response from them nor a return signature. I left a message at the above #. If you thi...

My grandfather's given name is Vincenzo, he used it for all documents. He was also known as Jim to friends and family. His death certificate has Jim. I am searching for any document that would list Vincenzo as deceased. So far I cannot find any document in the US. He never became a US citizen. On hi...
