After Genealogy, let's explore the fascinating world of Italian dual citizenship. How exactly do you understand if you're even eligible? And then, which documents do you need? Where do you even apply?
​
Enter Bettina Malacarne Holm, an Italian citizenship consultant who is going to talk with me about her beautiful job. 
As she puts it, Some might call document research a snooze-fest. I see it as playing detective in a thrilling mystery novel – each piece of paper is a clue waiting to be discovered.

1) Can you introduce yourself?

I'm Bettina, and  I'm all about turning dreams of dual citizenship into reality, merging my Italian roots and my own dual Italian-American citizenship, and helping people navigate the sometimes tricky citizenship process.
I hold a Master's degree in Business Administration and Management from the University of Bologna, Italy. I've waltzed through international COO roles and project management in the banking sector, onlus associations, and the private business world. In the last 5 years, I've found my groove in a mission – aiding people in reclaiming their Italian citizenship. Because I've been there, done that and I am fully aware of the challenges.

2) Why work with a dual citizenship consultant?

Navigating the dual citizenship journey can feel like a maze. It's not just about paperwork; it's about grasping the intricacies, requirements, and even the cultural nuances that might slip through the cracks on official forms. Some might call document research a snooze-fest. I see it as playing detective in a thrilling mystery novel – each piece of paper is a clue waiting to be discovered. It's my analytical mind's playground, and solving these riddles keeps this Italian citizenship party rolling. A consultant brings expertise, personalized guidance, and a friendly face to what might seem like a daunting process. We're your Italian citizenship sidekick, ensuring you're on the right path!

3) Can you briefly describe the dual citizenship process?

It's a blend of historical research, document gathering, form-filling, and liaising with Italian authorities. It's a bit like crafting a unique Italian pasta dish – the right ingredients, in the right order, with a sprinkle of patience. From eligibility checks, to document gathering, to consulate visits, or applying in Italy it's a journey, but one that's entirely doable with the right guidance.

4) Why did you choose this job?

It is a bit of a love story. Italy is my home, and helping others connect with their Italian roots is incredibly rewarding. Picture being part of someone's journey to rediscover their heritage – it's like helping them find a lost treasure. Plus, the joy on their faces when they finally get that Italian passport? Priceless. It's not just a job; it's a passion project!
