Finally went back to this old item, as my wife now wants me to start the process for her. Somewhere else you pointed to another blog writer that described the process, so I’ll keep searching. (If since then you found a good website, please post it.)
Thanks….

Do you mean citizenship or just the carta? The carta isn’t too complicated once you have the citizenship

Eileen, I’m so late in responding to this comment, and yet, no I still haven’t told Monsieur M. I must contact him soon.

Ah, I remember your mentioning the incentive trip–sounds great! Actually from Taormina, you aren’t too far–just a ferry ride away.

Congrats on finally “getting made!” I may actually be in the neighborhood mid-April…on my company’s client incentive trip. (I hope I didn’t just jinx myself…) If things go as planned…we would be staying in Sorrento 4/19-22, taking a flight to Catania and then staying in Taormina 4/22-25. I should know for sure in a week or so…and you know I am going to try and sneak away somewhere during the Naples stop! JT

Christina, the citizenship thing is actually quite an interesting process. I’ll send you an email, and we can talk more about it. If you qualify, it’s just a matter of collecting documents–tedious but worth it if you’ve ever had aspirations of staying in Europe for more than 3 months.

I never knew that about the Italian citizenship being passed down through generations. I wonder if my relatives kept theirs. My great grandfather came over on his own first as a twelve year old and stayed with distant cousins here before his brothers joined him. My grandmother’s family came over a bit later. But they all came from Lonate Pozzolo near Milan. Glad to see you’re blogging now! I’ll have to add you to my link list on my blog.

I’m jealous – that’s the view people imagine when you say you live in Italy. Up here in smog/fog land, my morning view is gridlock on Milan’s tangenziale. Just blogged about it. Must go buy those borlatti beans so I can channel Calabria!
