Dear NROLO,
I dont want to seem flip at all but "FASTTRACK" and Italy don't really belong in the same sentence. I dont know anyone who did not take less than 1.5 to 2.5 years to do it. I will say this: those who have their paperwork in hand, completed and know where they want to live, seem to have greater control over what happens than those trying to compete the work in the States. ought)
We have a close friend who moved near us, with his paperwork compete (or so he thought) moved here, applied for citizenship in the same town he lived in and then needed a court approval for one of the documents from a US court. That alone took about eight months but after 2.5 years of living here he was warded his citizenship.
I dont know of a "Fast Track" method of doing this but I can send you to an attorney who can hellp you avoid the mistakes of others. Her name is M. Grazia Colombo and her email address is mgrazia.colombo@leexe.it. there will be things she will know about the process that I do not. Send her an email. Ask her for her charges for your specific needs and go from there. My best to you: Chip Stites, IL Italian Correspondent.

We stayed for awile last year south of Aix and enjoyed that a lot. Now we are spending three months in Laroque-des-Alberes which is 25 minutes to Perpignan and close to Spain. It's "OK" but we won't buy here or live longer. Everything shuts down near the beach and even the inland villages are pretty dead in winter. And I mean nothing is open! The wind is rocking the house as I write this and looks to be bad for a couple of days. It is strong. It's also just not as pretty as other places and there are so many (closed) mobile home parks that make the whole area jam packed in summer. For me I will head back east from Montpelier onward next time.
