I received the following email in response to my request for my GGF's birth certificate. Some information redacted for privacy reasons.
Ciao, sono Vincenzo Musto- Ufficiale di stato Civile e di Anagrafe del Comune di -------. Ho rintracciato l'atto di nascita da Te richiesto ed a breve lo invierò per posta. Vi è solo un'anomalia per quanto riguarda il cognome, in quanto sull'atto di nascita il cognome è Raffo mentre sull'atto di morte che abbiamo registrato nell'anno 2004 al n. 25 parte 2 Serie C per il decesso venuto in data data --.--.1963 il cognome è Raffa. Ho pensato che forse è più opportuno 'identificazione con il cognome Raffa, altrimenti potresti avere problemi per la cittadinanza italiana. Prima della spedizione del certificato aspetto una Tua risposta a questo indirizzo email.
So as far as I understand it, my GGF's birth certificate has "Raffo" as the last name, but when my aunt did the paperwork in 2004, his death was recorded under Raffa, which is the name my family currently uses and the one that all subsequent paperwork is under. I'm not entirely sure what he's asking me though. Is he going to change the name on the certificate he sends me? Suggestions on how to reply?

Just he ask you that on the death act recorded in the italian birth commune the surname spelling is Raffa instead of "Raffo" right... now he think that maybe you can have problem for your dual citizenship application....
