- [Marta M.](https://italiancitizenshipassistance.com/dt_testimonials/marta-m/) - Silvia proved to be indispensable throughout the whole citizenship process.

She was absolutely outstanding in every way. The
- [Andrea A.](https://italiancitizenshipassistance.com/dt_testimonials/andrea-a/) - I don't know how we would have made it without ICA's support all along the way.

- [Francesca W.](https://italiancitizenshipassistance.com/dt_testimonials/francesca-w/) - My experience of ICA and Michelle Prini in particular has been a very good one. I was seeking to have my Italian citizenship recognised from my late mothers Italian birth and domicile prior to marrying my father, a British soldier, after the war and then her moving to the UK where she became a British

Italian Citizenship Assistance has been extremely helpful throughout a long and complicated process.

The team held our hands through every single step: -Gathering all documents from multiple sources across two
- [Toni C.](https://italiancitizenshipassistance.com/dt_testimonials/toni-c/) - ICA helped me gain my Italian passport by carefully taking me through the steps to firstly update by comune records, and then the documents needed for a passport.

- [Jeff C.](https://italiancitizenshipassistance.com/dt_testimonials/jeff-c/) - Without ICA I'm just not sure getting my Italian Citizenship would have been possible.

Safe to say this would
- [Morgan S.](https://italiancitizenshipassistance.com/dt_testimonials/morgan-s/) - My family recently used Italian Citizenship Assistance to request Italian Citizenship.

- [Joe M.](https://italiancitizenshipassistance.com/dt_testimonials/joe-m-2/) - Rafael I couldn’t agree with you more about Marco and his team. The fact that they do so much work upfront without taking any payment to determine eligibility is incredibly generous. And that there is no obligation once it is determined the person is eligible, shows the benevolence of ICA. This is why I asked
- [Conrad S.](https://italiancitizenshipassistance.com/dt_testimonials/conrad-s/) - In 2017 I had the idea, what if? What if I tracked down my ancestors and can actually become an Italian citizen? Having tried the DIY route for some time ineffectively, it wasn’t until 2020 however (amidst a pandemic nonetheless) that I made contact with ICA and spoke with Marco. After speaking with others and

- [Jennifer M.](https://italiancitizenshipassistance.com/dt_testimonials/jennifer-m/) - My experience with the Italian citizenship assistance has been excellent from beginning to end.

A. - Rovigo 2019](https://italiancitizenshipassistance.com/dt_testimonials/natalia-r-a-rovigo-2019/) - Susanna and the entire team at Italian Citizenship Assistance made a potentially confusing a frustrating situation very simple and easy.

- [Justin S., Los Angeles - 2015](https://italiancitizenshipassistance.com/dt_testimonials/justin-s-los-angeles-2015/) - I don't think I could have done this without the help of Marco. His service has been impeccable. Sure some of the US Docs can be requested on your own and living so close to the county recorders office I was able to do just that, but when it came to the docs from Italy
- [Robert P., Montana - 2014](https://italiancitizenshipassistance.com/dt_testimonials/robert-p-montana-2014/) - I couldn't give Marco (and ICA generally) a stronger, more positive recommendation.

One of his characteristics that I have most
- [Gustavo R., New York City - 2015](https://italiancitizenshipassistance.com/dt_testimonials/gustavo-r-new-york-city-2014/) - I strongly and enthusiastically recommend ICA (Marco and Team).
