“The workshop contained a lot of valuable information for the cost.  I was thrilled that it included an hour with Melanie Holtz and a few other free little extras.  I would be interested in taking other workshops in the future that build upon this basic information.”

Italian Roots to Italian Passport:
Citizenship Step-By-Step

Do you have Italian ancestry?

Are you interested in finding out if you can claim Italian citizenship?

Are you looking for an easier way to move to, retire in or spend longer amounts of time in Italy with an Italian passport?

Join Dream of Italy host and founder Kathy McCabe (who is claiming her Italian citizenship right now) and Melanie Holtz for a two-part pre-recorded workshop on tracing your ancestry, determining your citizenship eligibility.

What’s included:

• Links to the two recorded video sessions of the workshop
• Companion workbook (PDF)
• One-hour FREE consultation with Melanie to go over your specific case and citizenship eligibility

Descendants of Italian immigrants all over the world are finding that they are eligible for Italian citizenship through descent (jure sanguinis or right of blood). Interest in reclaiming Italian citizenship has skyrocketed over the last 10 to 15 years! So much so, that challenges exist in getting timely citizenship appointments and applications approved within a reasonable timeframe. The recent pandemic has made the acquisition of the documentation necessary to prove eligibility quite a challenge.

This two-part virtual workshop will provide a detailed overview of everything you need to know about reclaiming your Italian citizenship by descent. Whether you want to apply at your local Italian consulate, need to apply through filing a court case in Italy (like Kathy is) or want to go live in Italy and apply there (an exciting alternative), this two-part workshop will tell you everything you need to know!

We offer no guarantee that you will be able to pursue citizenship but you will have a clear answer after this workshop! You might want to look at some of the laws regarding Italian citizenship jure sanguinis.
