Hi Barbara,I applied and gained my Italian citizenship a few years ago but did it all from Australia through the Italian Consulate in Sydney, it was a quite a laborious process but now my Wife through marriage (we were married just before the cut off date of April 1983) my childlren and grandchildren are all daul Italian and Australians through me, the main thing I had to prove was when my father was born that my grandparents were still Italian citizens, before they de-nounced their Italian citizenship and became Australian, I applied and received via mail from my grandparents commune for a copy of all the relevant documents. We now have dual passports and we plan on retireing 1/2 the year in euorope and 1/2 the year in Australia
