anyone here speak (write) Italian?
I have been wanting to get my Italian (dual) citizenship. I collected all the documentation (originals from the 20s) and went down to the Italian Consulate in Boston and spoke to someone about it. Apparently the documents I have are too old and I need to get fresh copies from Italy. I don't speak Italian (yet!).
I kind of stalled on this and then saw something about Gaeta (Italy) being one of Somerville's sister cities. Well gag me with a spoon! That's where my paternal grandparents came from - so it has kind of re-energized my hope to be able to do this.
I guess I need to write to a records office in Gaeta (can't seem to do it over the web...damn! ;-) I guess I should call city hall here to see if they can put me in touch with someone.

It does seem a bit skeevy, but fairly generous. I'm sure they will be changing the rules in the future.
