It is now a joy to go in there and chat with them. And if you have any questions about the process feel free to email me…maybe I can help.

Molti Grazie! I am working on mu duel citizenship – I am caught in limbo land with some paperwork but not too worried about it! They folks at the consulate in Miami have been so sweet! I am always amzaed when Americans complain about visiting Italians or their consulates – the claims of rudeness is something I don’t understand – but my husband tells me that my smiles with everyone makes it difficult for them to be rude back – flies with honey!

I just dicovered you blog…when I read your “about” section, it had me in tears. The way you speak of your family really tugged my heart, as I too have an amazing relationship with my mother and sister in law. We are like blood. Also, the way you speak of your own extended family is so beautiful. I come from a big Italian American family. I have 2 sons and a daughter. Just this past year we finished the process of claiming our Italian roots, and became dual citizens. We now have an American and an Italian passport. I look forward to reading more of your blog. Grazie…
Ciao…
