Question

I m italian and i m married with an american.

Soon we ll go in Italy and we want to get married only in a catholic church because we did not do it in Us.

Does anybody know how this works?

Answer 1

here is what you will need :

RELIGIOUS CEREMONIES: If a religious ceremony is performed by a Roman Catholic priest, a separate civil ceremony is unnecessary but the priest must register the marriage with the Ufficiale di Stato Civile in order for it to be legal. Because of the special Italian requirements applicable to marriage performed by non-Roman Catholic clergymen, the latter usually insist on a prior civil ceremony before performing a religious ceremony in order to ensure the legality of the marriage.

The same which any one else do.

Answer 3

Here is the information page from the US Embassy in Rome.  Note that there are slightly different instructions for each consular district; you should look at the link that has to do with the place where you plan to marry.

Answer 4

Cause you are married already officialy and just asking for the cercemony in church there is only one thing to do. Just pick out a church and make an appointment with the priest showing him your marriage certificate. That's all.
