An American's quest for Italian Citizenship. and all things Italian. Italians are going to their favorite pizzerias less and less because the cost of dining out is becoming too expensive. Because of the Euro, pizzas that would have cost 2-3 are now costing 5-7. I should note that a pizzeria I went to a few times in Torino " Pizzeria 7 Nani. Still has prices from 3,50-7 on their website. Pizzerias throughout Italy are signing onto a "Il Patto della Pizza" ( The Pizza Pact. Links to this post. My favorite ...

An American's quest for Italian Citizenship. and all things Italian. I recently went to the newly located Italian Consulate at the Federal Reserve building across the street from South Station to find out if I have all the right stuff for my dual citizenship.

I'll probably finish soon after I return from my lovely Italian holiday. Rome, Florence, G...

An American's quest for Italian Citizenship. and all things Italian. So I sent my initial request for my great-grandfather's birth records in Gissi through ICGS, a company based in California that retrieves vital records. That request was sent on November 2nd, 2005 and should be delivered "between 2 to 10 weeks," no surprise there. I inquired about the status around December 17th and received this email back:. Fair enough, right? Patience is all it really takes. Posted by Rick @ 1/25/2006 12:18:00 PM.

An American's quest for Italian Citizenship. and all things Italian. Apply in Italy; sounds good to me! For some strange reason, I just. On Expats in Italy. And am hoping it is the key to my Italian Citizenship. What it basically states is that you can apply for citizenship in Italy by presenting all the same documents you would show the local Consulate.

An American's quest for Italian Citizenship. and all things Italian. I've been pretty busy since the last post with a trip to the Mass Vital Records office, a trip to Italy, and general laziness. I'll begin with the Mass Vital Records office and all the fun stuff that's been making my mind race. That the US Government is 60,000 requests behind. Hooray for bureaucracy! And couldn't have been more pleased with our experience. Andrea, the owner, was very helpful telling us about Greve in Chianti and giv...
