Hello
I'm working at obtaining my Italian citizenship for me and my children. I have been to the Consulate to apply and have been told I'm short one document.
My grandfather was born in Celano Aquila i 1893. He moved to Canada in 1912 and naturalized in 1949. I have a copy of his Italian birth certificate which has two dates, one written 1956 on the front and one stamped on the back April 25 1963. My grandfathers name is Simplicio Villa.
I have been by the Consulate that I need a copy of his Italian Citizenship Certificate from the commune he was from (Celano Aquila). Address? Anything??
How do I get this???? Please help as I am sooooo close to fulfilling my dream!!
Thanks in advance.

Good luck.
