Which comune/i good to register for obtaining Italian citizenship
Buongiorno I have most documents that are needed to lodge my citizenship request and instead of doing it through a consulate, I am planning to spend some time in Italy and do the process there. I believe you do not have to do this in the comune that your ancestor came from and I have been looking at...

Volpin & Sartorato from Veneto
Buongiorno I am looking for clues/sources regarding two family members both from the region of Veneto: 1] (Anna) Pasqua SARTORATO who we think was born in/around Bovolenta, Padova around 1869-1872. She emigrated with her family (father, mother, brother, brother's wife, brother's son/nephew) to Brazi...

Re: VOLPIN - need Death Record (GGGF) & Birth Record (GGF) from Veneto region
Thank you Suanj ! Yes, I look from time to time to see if I can find something new, esp. if there are new developments (in this case the fact my children might have to choose one of their nationalities). I know a lot of documents are being scanned and put online so I am hoping I might get lucky one ...

Re: Italian Exit Document (Port of Departure)
Hi Marty, Joao's (or better, Giovanni's or Giacomo') parents were Paolo (Paulo in Portuguese) Volpin and Teresa (Theresa in PT) Capato. The two Volpin's born in 1856 and 1859 are certainly interesting. Padova is the province north of Rovigo, approx 50KM away. The parents' names do not match but I wo...

Re: Italian Exit Document (Port of Departure)
Cheers Peter, thanks a lot! It is a very useful site, cisei. I have not seen it before. The earliest Volpins on this list are Domenico and Sante in 1888. However their names would logically not be changed into Joao, unless there was no link with the original Italian name. In addition, on Joao Volpin...

Italian Exit Document (Port of Departure)
Good day, We are interested in documentation related to my Italian-born Great-Grand-Father (GGF), Giovanni or Giacomo VOLPIN. When he arrived in Brazil (he settled in Pedreira in Sao Paulo state), they changed his name to the Portuguese version, João (that is why we do not know what the Italian vers...

Re: ROVIGO in 1850-1860: part of Venice or Austria?
Hello! Thanks for the messages. As far as I know, the Volpin family came from Italy and they had distinct Italian and catholic traditions, so I am not sure about the family originating from Russia and/or from a Hebrew background. it could of course be that e.g. the GF of my GGF came from elsewhere (...

Re: Easy & Difficult Italian consulates
on the consulates, mler I think you are right about Brazil, but I should find out if there is a difference between Switzerland and Australia (we will have legal residence in both places).

Dear mler, jennabet Looking back so far in the past during a time when areas changed hands frequently is clearly not an easy task and I thank all of you for your honest input.

Re: Easy & Difficult Italian consulates
good day, my GGF came from Rovigo, not Rovigno. Rovigo is close to the Po river in present day Italy, south of Venice, on the provincial and regional border with Emilia Romagna. Volpin is (apparently) a typical surname from this area meaning "little fox". I was told it was annexed to Italy...

Easy & Difficult Italian consulates
Hello there When reading various posts I noticed that once I have the required documents collected to make a citizenship application, I need to send it to the consulate of the country where I am resident (and not from where I am a national). I am asking this because I am Brazilian, I currently live ...
