Catch this great interview with Ilene and Gary Modica who downsized, packed up and spent a year touring Italy. Their book and blog chronicles their journey and quest for Italian citizenship.
In anticipation of our citizenship, we sold our family home in January 2016, along with most of our possessions. We downsized so much that everything we own fits into four large green Rubbermaid tubs! You know the kind–that you store your Christmas decorations in? It’s funny how much stuff you accumulate and how much you don’t need.
It has been a true journey through mounds of paperwork and a great deal of time (did I mention money too?) Our initial application at the Los Angeles Italian Consulate was in November 2015 where we provided documents with translations, apostilles, etc. After a period of time with no communication, we received an email that we had to amend many documents. You can read more about our process on our dual citizenship posts.
