I'm planning to do the same as well [obtain Italian citizenship]. I'm first-generation American (my father was born an raised in Italy, then lived his teen years in Argentina before eventually heading to the U.S. after marriage). I understand, however, that I may not qualify as my father later obtained U.S. citizenship, which may have involved him revoking his Italian citizenship. I'll need to confirm that, though. Maybe it's moot since his father never came to the U.S.
[on edit: I see there were a few additional replies on citizenship -- will aim to find out for myself]
