Perhaps I've missed something here (again)..
Got caught like this too at Milan and I def don't have an Italian name, but my passport had been issued by one of the consulates so they must have seen the stamp. By law, an Italian citizen must use his Italian doc to enter and exit Italy.

Not sure how mamy eligible British males live here though. There aren't any where I live.

I think its a bit daft comining onto a BRITISH expats forum and asking how to get an Italian passport !?

For one, 99.9 % of us here are british and have at least a UK passport which entitles us to just about move anywhere in the EU we want, plus other benefits, Benefits Italians just dont have or get. So who on here would rather have Italian citizenship than British may i ask ?

Secondly, to the OP, i think your question would be best posted in an Asian forum that spezialize in how to quickly sneak people in through the back door. Theres plenty of them too, seen as half of india, pakistan,africa and china are killing each other to get ANY kind of EU passport/citizenship. They will for sure know all the legal loopholes we dont. Just ask the UK Borderforce !
Sorry guys I just got back. (OP)
First, I would like to answer to Engliano. I am not a person who is trying to sneak people in through the back door as you think. As Lorna said I’v been married to an Italian for about 5 years. (Thanks Lorna) My father-in-low stresses me to go for the Italian citizenship about 2years ago, when I got the eligibility. (We were in England at that time). The reason I am here is I always admire British people. I like to be around with them as they are clam, very polite etc… I still find difficult to adapt to Italy, be around with them including my husband. (I have not seen him speaking Italian before. Well occasionally) it sounds very rude when they talk loudly.

When I went to ask the codice k, they told me verbatim: "you shouldn't worry before 2 and half year, if you haven't got news after that, come back here".

To apply, I collected documents in 3 different countries, I had everything translated, notarised, legalised and apostilled, and I have spent in excess of £2,500 all in all, included around 200 Eur for the application itself.

I use "I" because my wife wasn't entirely convinced she would have liked to become a citizen of a country like the Italian Republic, it has been mostly my project and I had an hard time to convince her, but I did it because while I sympathize with her feelings, she is a visa national, which means every time we go to Italy (or travel around Europe), she has to have a valid Schengen visa, and it seems than more the years we have been married, harder becomes to get such a visa from the Italian consulates (and seeing the amount of Italian visa stamps in her passports, other EU countries consulates always give us the stock answer: "why you don't go to the Italian consulate"), and I have grown into not wishing to see a consulate anymore in my life.

The above said about the timeline, I did find out that there are people claiming that if you start to bombard them with letters they have been able to get their spouses citizenship in less than 2 years.

Those letters must be the "Raccomandata" or PEC type, in some specific format recommended in another forum for foreigners living in the Italian Republic (being new in here, I don't know if I can post a link to that, I don't have any personal interest on it, I actually don't remember about even being a member there, but, although it is in Italian language only as far as I know, I understand it could be constructed as advertising the competition ).

As I am quite sick of waiting and confirming all the worst stereotypes my wife has already got of the Italian bureaucracy, I am probably going to try out that approach soon.
aledeniz, thanks for your reply. I was looking forward to hear something like this. According to my research, Yes, you are right. They have to give an answer within 730 days. I was wondering is anybody received it before the period!
Could you please keep update the current situation of your wife’s application. Are you in somewhere in Tuscany?

what is the function of the Sindaco and il Comune, the function of Senato and Camera dei Deputati (I probably couldn't answer that); and who are Carlo Conti and Gerry Scotti.

That's not true, actually. I have used my British passport to enter Italy a few times, never had any problems, despite my Italian name and place of birth.
