For all the obvious reasons, people who come to Italy often find it a difficult place to leave. Now, some are finding they don't have to go home – they already are home.
Sandy and Phil Ferretti, from Long Island via Florida, run the Relais Ortaglia B&B in Tuscany. Phil is the great-grandson of an Italian immigrant. "Who would have thought we would have ended up in Tuscany, but we're here!" said Sandra.
Ferretti discovered a connection to Italy that's deeper than he thought; he may actually be Italian, because of what's known as the Law of Blood.

Is there room in Europe for Americans of European extraction?
Right next to the muzzies.
Ping.
I qualify for this too and am strongly considering it.
I have to read it.
My pop was born in Italy but came over young..
Wherever I ended up, my heart would be in the US, so why bother leaving?
Besides, contrary to popular belief, Italians don’t really like we Americans of Italian descent.
We’re the traitors who left :)
How do you prove the “bloodline”? What are they looking for?
“Right next to the muzzies.”
Which is why I’ve found myself musing about Hungary...
My husband’s family does, too. We are spending 2 weeks there in the fall and are looking to move our family out if another Obama clone is elected.
I’d go back to take it over and make it a better place. Easier to do with a smaller population than here. The U.S. Constitution is a model, not a one-off.
In the face of a burgeoning, anti-constitution progressive movement here, I would relish the opportunity to turn the country of my ancestry. Who’s with me?
Doesn’t matter what Italians in general think. I got a town to go to where I’m blood related to much of the population and they like me just fine.
That was good, thanks.
They love our money I’m sure.
“he may actually be Italian, because of what’s known as the Law of Blood”...
I married an Italian girl, and was adopted into her family...I have always told everyone “I’m Italian by marriage” (IBM)...
Just wondering if that counts? I might actually BE Italian according to this law?
