You don't need Italian Citizenship to visit Italy. Just have your US Passport in hand and GO!I so would love to go to Italy. My husband never wanted to go abroad
my son is trying to get Italian citizenship. two sisters and two nieces already have it.
it takes years to get it, and I don’t think I have years left, but he was trying to convince me.
I turn on the news and start thinking really hard about it. Apparently you can live anywhere in the European Union.
my son found a Facebook group that does ancestry on my mothers side of the family, just her mothers maiden name.
I joined yesterday, my son posted a question, and a woman who runs the group found my great grandparents in the Chicago census, papers with their names, death certificates, etc, OVERNIGHT.
my sisters did visit the hometowns of great grandparents on both sides, very common names on both sides. They actually met descendants of great grandfathers sister, and we are related to half the people in the small town in Italy. The other side of family, no one remembers.
All well and good for your kids to follow, if they want to live in the EU for longer than 6 months, but for 90 days at a time, it's unnecessary.
