I am an American citizen and my parents were also born in the US. However, all of my grandparents were born in Italy and my father's parents never became US citizens. I know my mother's mother became a citizen, but I am not sure about her father. So from all I have read I would be able to attain Italian citizenship. My wife has been after me to do that for many years now. I wish I had done it so that I might now have been able to travel to Italy.
Here is my question. While I could obtain Italian citizenship would my wife, who has no Italian lineage, also be able to attain citizenship by virtue of my citizenship?
Rather than try to contact the Italian Consulate in Boston, I thought I'd get the best answer here!
