- Ep.11 After Judy hit several dead ends with her quest to be an Italian citizen, a glimmer of light appeared at the end of the tunnel. A friend’s wedding in Guildford is an excuse to fly to the UK and more birth family meet-ups happen in California. Judy also breaks down the 1948 and 1983 Italian rulings for citizenship.

I love your family story! I have a good friend who discovered her birth father’s family (she never knew who her father was growing up) about a year or two after he died. She has since developed close ties with that side of her family!
Oh wow. What a shame she didn't find him before he passed, but how wonderful that she has built family relationships. It doesn't always work out that way. It was a huge gift that my mother and her family all are reasonably healthy and that too much time didn't pass for us given that I was 55 when I found them. Finding my birth family has been one of the most enriching and joyous things I have ever done. They all are incredible people, and I am extremely grateful that they've all welcomed me with open arms and loving hearts. -Judy
I also used ICA. I found them through IDC, but they actually operate through ICA to assist you with pursuing the process with the 1948 case. It took time to gather all of the documents in the proper format, apostille and then translate. The most recent change is that the court cases are not brought in Rome but in the region of your ancestors.
Loving this as usual. I hope the court goes well… i gotta say that i wemt through all the websites the italian government has on the subject and still couldn’t understand much… it was frustrating.
Grazie, Jacopo! We were not about to try and work through all the websites for the Italian government. We still feel good about IDC (www.italiandualcitizenship.net) and the progress they've made so far. It will feel good when Judy is granted Italian citizenship, but we know we have to be patient.
We also have a backup plan that we'll talk about in an upcoming episode. ❤️

I too am Italian American and have Italian citizenship , plan to get my EU passport soon. I have another 10 years of work but definitely will retire in Europe. I’m thinking of Torino or Porto , Portugal. I want to retire in a city that isn’t too big & crowded but isn’t too small where you can get bored.
How cool! We have episodes from Portugal and also Torino, which we just visited this summer. We can definitely see ourselves living in either Torino or even Verona. And although we liked Portugal, we just didn't connect with it. We are still slogging through the very tedious dual citizenship process. We are jealous because an EU passport opens up so many doors that are closed to us as Americans. Weaving in and out of the Schengen region isn't fun when you are full-time travelers. The one benefit is that it does encourage us to explore beyond Europe. In fact we are headed to Japan and Southeast Asia for several months. I'll link our entire Italian series, but you might want to watch Torino and our 6 cities in 12 days video particularly, where we discuss Verona. We'd love to know what you think! Of course, if you've been to Torino, you already have opinions, but we'd be curious to know if we got it right! -Judy

The Van Gogh tea looked delightful!
It was absolutely incredible and so delicious and fun!
Question, was your mother a US citizen before or after your birth?
My mother and her mother both were born as US citizens. But my grandmother’s parents never naturalized, so under 1948 law, she should have been entitled to dual citizenship and also she would have automatically absorbed her husband’s (my grandfather’s) Italian citizenship when she was married. Although he naturalized before my mother was born, my grandmother never formally renounced her Italian heritage through her birthright or through her marriage. Thus she still in theory had Italian citizenship to have passed onto all of her children, including those born before 1948. Thanks for the question!
