Contact your local Italian consulate. they will be able to advise. Ali

You will need records.The consulate is a good place to start with details on the process. In general: you will need documents to show that your grandparents were born in Italy.

Email, letters and phone calls tend to get limited results from the comune. Many times you need to go there yourself or have someone local do that for you.
