I tried getting dual citizenship back in 2001, I had all the information they wanted all typed up neatly, Houston consulate was giving me a hard time, and they gave my father a hard time years later when he went to the consulate in Houston, somehow they just don't want to work, ove those experiences in Italy with the carabinieri, they didn't want to be bothered. This is very good information you're giving I'm relaying this information to my sister.

When I was little, I helped my Sicilian Grandmother make pasta from scratch. She too, would lay sheets all over the house and we would lay them one by one to dry. A very fond memory for me.

[@YouMeandSicily]

Me too!

Sorry our paths did not cross during my trip but you videos where a great help and I had a great time based in Stazzo, Acireale. That eat was something else that last couple of days. I left Jun21st. Safe travels to you both and I will be back as my family is in Aci Sant'Antonio. Ciao!

[@YouMeandSicily]

Grazie!

[@bluesman1947]

I think that the changes are reasonable. If you want to be Italian, yes you must learn Italian. Diritti e Doveri.

[@YouMeandSicily]

They are fighting I think,to maintain their cultural identity. JMO

[@bluesman1947]

@@YouMeandSicily knowing the language is part of it; if not the most important.I started that journey personally many years ago and for me, speakung Italian closed the circle. Buon fortuna.

A suggestion for next week...How to make memorial donations to the Sicilian Project...

[@giselleplantbasedvegan9174]

Thank you for the heads up about the proposed changes. We began the paperwork 1 year ago and then life put it on hold; oh no! I’m sharing this with my brother and we will begin researching the proposed changes and get back on the application. 🌟

[@itsmetaran]

Great video as always - thanks a lot!

[@YouMeandSicily]

Grazie!

[@mad8298]

FYI Ezster you are correct to point out that the residency/living in Italy requirement will only apply in certain situations, and that is if you are claiming JS citizenship from an ancestor more than 3 generations removed. So, 1st, 2nd and 3rd generation applicants won't need to live in Italy to apply under the current proposal. As for the language requirement, I personally applaud that requirement. B1 is Intermediate level and can be achieved with about 200 or so hours of good intensive language training. I think anyone who immigrates to a country and wants citizenship should be literate in the language of their new country. (just my opinion and what my Italian mother had to do to pass her U.S. citizenship test in the '50's). But in any event, having been in the Peace Corps and required, within 10 weeks in the country (Ukraine in my case, a language much more difficult than Italian) to be at B1 or above level, I know it is doable. Again, my opinion, but it shows a commitment to fully integrating into the culture.

Ciao! I’m so pleased you had an amazing time on the west coast of Sicily. Your videos have been superb. I’ve just had the best day in Taormina and Castelmola today. These two places feel more & more magical every time I visit! I’d almost be willing to live in a tent if I could wake up to that scenery every morning. I have tears in my eyes when I’m taking it all in. I was lucky enough to see the orchestra playing at the Teatro Antico ( not the actual concert - it was about 6.30pm and I think maybe they were practicing / warming up but it was fine for anyone to sit and enjoy). Sending best wishes to you both!😘

Grazie!

Great info ~ love the pasta making. 😍 We love the west side of the island, but to be fair, Croce was born and raised outside of Palermo so that's where all the wonderful memories were made. Your tours look lovely. All the best.

Buongiorno Ester and Alfred ….thank you for the Italian citizenship information ❤

[@ClassicKina]

Thank you for the heads up! You guys always share the best information that’s most accurate. We appreciate you! My husband and I visited Rome, Florence, and Palermo in April and Sicily was the clear choice for where we want to retire. Sounds like we’ll have a lot to do before our time comes.

Grazie!

Hi Eszter and Alfred, Thanks for your beautiful video and valuable information. Much love 😊❤

Thanks for the info about the juris sanguis legislation proposals. We have a home in southern Italy and I’m eligible at this point to qualify because my grandparents did not become us citizens before my father was born so I’ve been thinking of doing this.Honestly I’m so overwhelmed by the amount of paperwork needed to obtain my citizenship so I’d love to hear another video about helpful ways to get it done, You both have wonderful videos btw, so helpful. We went to Sicily last year on your side of the island and enjoyed it thoroughly!

[@YouMeandSicily]

Learn as much about the process...

[@paulmontello6074]

I'm shocked that you were mixing tomato sauce while wearing a white blouse! My kids know to put on a red or black shirt for Sunday dinner ;)

I just helped for 5 mins :)

That's why they are serving on a red damask tablecloth. I was surprised to see that in a restaurant.

Thanks for the info on the dual citizenship.

[@feliciah2696]

Great info on JS. Much of the information available is confusing. I would love a video on more about this. Thank you

[@artlover7638]

Alfred and Ezther, Sicily agrees with you both because you guys look younger today than when you first got to Sicily.

Buona Domenica

[@cmcd160]

Wow! I can remember when USA citizenship requirement was denouncing your homeland. Sad that many who did that may never been entitled to regain that citizenship or even apply. Several European country have done same. Germany. Have yo be German blood, speak, read and write. It appears this is yo prevent any of the migrants access to citizenship. And to think many Italians migrated to South America and Mexico for 100s of years

Great karma at work! 🎉❤

I live there in Sicily city of Catania for four years, unfortunately I had to return to the United States, I wonder whether the past four years would count towards citizenship or do I have to start over again.?

Start over..

How can you come for 6 months or possibly a year when you can legally only stay for 90 days?

90 days ...leave for 90. Then repeat...
