Hello, yes you can request the "ruolo matricolare". It is usually kept by the state archive in the province where the person lived.

Thanks gaspaol. Do I send a letter to the commune?

Sorry, to the province?

No, they are usually kept at "Archivio di Stato" (one per province)

Thanks Pippo. Do I send a letter or are they accessible somewhere online?

Most of them are not online, but some are.
It depends on the province.
What province are you interested in?
