My Last Trimester in Rome

Fun Facts I learned about Italy...

1. Because my son was born here in Rome, he is now an Italian Citizen and all his medical bills are covered under the National Health System. While my expenses will need to be reimbursed by my insurance, which by the way for a week stay was extremely reasonable at $1600 Euro or almost $2,000.00.

2. My son will get an Italian passport but I will need a US passport in order to bring him back into the the US with me. The US embassy actually has been helpful in getting this expedited.

3. As his mother I can apply and get an Italian passport as well because as his mother I attain citizenship through that status alone [having a child who is a citizen here]. Rather generous country I think.
