If you ever decide that you want to move to the US, then your wife would file a
petition with one of the US consulates in Italy for you and you would apply for an
immigrant visa. You would then come to the US as a permanent resident and three years
later be eligible for citizenship.
Until then, there's nothing you can or need to do.

You need to become a permanent resident before you become a citizen. If still married
to your wife, you would have to be a permanent resident for at least 3 years, and
have been physically present in the US for at least 18 months, and with no absence of
more than 6 months at a time.
And, if you don't reside in the US, then you can't be a permanent resident.
Note: there are exceptions to some of these limits for spouses of military or
government people assigned out of the country.

I was exactly in your situation, and Michael gave you the "rules". Or is your
girlfriend in the US military? R
