To naturalize in the 60s you had to apply for a green card, start the immigration process, renounce your home country, and swear fealty to the US There were a lot more ways to naturalize than that. Anyone born under the conditions of Congress's naturalization statutes that was in effect at the time of their birth is naturalized.
Aldo Mario Bellei was naturalized by being born to an American mother in Italy. His case was handled by the Supreme court in Rogers v Bellei.

unless American soil is some form of magic pixie dust, it has zero impact on citizenship status.
being born to an American mother gave him US citizenship at birth, regardless where he was born.
only quest would be whether he chose American or italian, via his father
