FINALLY! Sono Italiana!
I am an Italian citizen!!
If you’re interested in learning about the process of being recognized as an Italian citizen through jure sanguinis (through blood/ancestry) and obtaining an Italian passport, here are two articles I wrote for International Living.
In this two-part article, I talk about the hurdles and challenges, the highs and the lows of applying for citizenship recognition while living la dolce vita in a medieval hilltop village in Umbria, Italy for 5 months.

Please note – the laws, rules and whims of Italy, citizenship and how/when/where to apply change allll the time. Do your due diligence when beginning your process. The laws changed just 6 weeks after I received my Italian passport and I would NOT have qualified had I waited to apply.
Happy to answer any questions you have…
Enjoy!

It is worse to stay where one does not belong..rather than wander about lost for a while looking for the psychic and soulful kinship one requires.
