Is anyone experience appling for Italian Citizenship by marriage?
How difficulty it was?
They said it will take about 2 years to give an answer, is anyone received before that?
Thanks

According to the same website, it takes 18/24 months to process the application. However, I have heard it can take longer than that. My wife became eligible years ago but we gave up on the idea, since the process is far from straightforward.

Ok - then you need to go to your prefettura and ask them exactly what documents they want from you to apply for citizenship.
It won't be quick. It could take a few years.
Good luck.

Re: Italian Citizenship with marriage
if you are a citizen of an EU country then applying for Italian citizenship means
giving that up but if you are a non EU citizen then you can have dual citizenship. It will take sometime and a ceremony in which you swear loyalty in font of a flag .. good luck

Sorry - but that's total shite what you just said. We do not have to give up anything. Not 100% sure of each and every EU country, but us Brits do not give up or renounce anything. We can have dual citizenship and both passports.

It 's what I was told when I got married ! Within the EU an adult can only have one citizenship . An EU citizen has all the same rights as an Italian apart from the vote in IT political elections ? you have both ?

The laws on double nationality vary from country to country, even within the EU. In any case, OP is not an EU citizen.

My eldest daughter was born in UK and we were advised to get her both UK passport + Italian Id but that at 18 she might have to choose . When I got my present job ( 2 years ago ) just after I was married I was advised not to apply for IT citizenship because it would mean giving up my Uk passport . I accept that things may well have changed since for the UK + IT .

Re: Italian Citizenship with marriage
An Italian passport is cheaper than getting my UK one done with the embassy but I wasn't really that bothered. A friend of mine did apply for the citizenship. It came after more than 3 years. A little handshake and vow with the Sindaco in the Comune and that was it. Even she hasn't bothered to get an Italian passport yet.
