Can I be recognized as an Italian Citizen?

[o0vide0kid0o]

Hi, all.
I have an interesting case on my hands. I was born in Palermo, Sicily to an Italian mother who never renounced citizenship. My father (after about a year) went through the judicial system to have me recognized as an American born on foreign soil. I have been told several different things as to how to regain my Italian citizenship. I contacted the AIRE department and was told that if my birth is registered in Sicily I can be recognized and that they’d research this for me. I sent them my documents, along with the registration of my birth in Sicily, but I haven’t heard a single thing back from them in nearly 3 months. Is this normal? Does anyone know if I could contact the commune directly, and how I can find their contact information? This whole process has been very confusing for me as to where I should even begin.

Thanks in advance for your help.

Is your father American? If one of your parents is American and you reported a birth abroad that has no impact on your Italian citizenship. I'm confused why your father had to go through courts to do this unless there is more to the story.
