Yes I am sure about that; and I never mentioned dual citizenship, only that Enrici was American by birth.
In any case, and not that it really matters other than to add to the pedantry, Enrici would have been technically a dual citizen, under Article 7, Law 555 "On Italian Citizenship", passed 13 June 1912, since he would have been born
of an Italian father (
jus sanguinus),
in a
jus soli country (USA).
