Best Answer - Chosen by Asker: I pulled this off the Italian Consulate of Miami web page:

3. Naturalizzazione

requirements include:

10 years of legal residence;

sufficient income;

absence of criminal record;

renunciation of original citizenship (where foreseen).

the number of years can be reduced to:

3 years of legal residence for descendents of former Italian citizens by birth, up to the 2nd degree, and for foreigners born in Italian national territory;

4 years of legal residence for citizens of European Community Member States;

5 years of legal residence for displaced persons or refugees, as well as for legal-age foreigners adopted by Italian citizens;

7 years of legal residence as the child of an Italian parent;

no period of residence is required for foreigners who have served the State for a period of at least 5 years, even abroad.

Application for naturalisation must be addressed to the President of the Republic (Presidente della Repubblica) and presented to the Prefecture in the Province of residence.
