Hello,
the Public Administration in Italy is not always working well.
If you request civil records or military records I suggest you, in order to receive an answer, instead to risk and wait forever, to:

- write the request in italian, explaining the reason why (for example:for italian citizeship, for a research of family history,ecc)
- send the request via ordinary mail
-add to your request a self addresses envelope + photocopy of your ID + international reply coupon
I hope it helps
bye Riccardo

I have a great success story regarding the Italian state archives.

I sent an email to the State Archives of Bari, who in turn forwarded my request to the archives in Barletta and then within 2 weeks!!! mailed me the info i requested, all w/o fee (and I did ask how much this service would cost).

However, I'm guessing that the regional archives are more polished than their municipal counterparts

I know that Archivio di Stato of Enna and Catania, answered via ordinary mail after receiving an email from someone who was looking for his ancestry from US.
Bur for example I wrote to Archivio di Stato of Frosinone last August, and I didn't receive any reply yet.
So that is the reason why I strongly suggest anyone who don't want to wait forever to send the requests like I stated above.
Good luck for your researches,
bye Riccardo

I just had lunch with someone visiting from Sora who actually researches in that area. She says the clerk there is pretty good....

If you have any trouble with obtaining your certificate let me know and I will provide her email to you for help. She'll be in town here for a few more weeks and then she'll be home.
