Answer 1

You have a few options, either through marriage or naturalisation which means you have to live in the country for 10 years.

Answer 2

You cant have double citizenship.

Answer 3

The only way to become an Italian citizen without renouncing your US citizenship is if one of your parents was born in Italy, or you were born in Italy to American parents.

As a US citizen, if you were to pledge allegiance to a foriegn government you lose your US citizenship.

You don't have to become an Italian citizen to live in Italy.
