Sarandon, in love with Italy, has expressed the desire to become an Italian citizen. Here's what she said she al Magna Graecia Film Festival of Catanzaro, awarded at the Arena with the Golden Column for Lifetime Achievement"I've been trying to get Italian citizenship for a long time, but I can't. I also drink coffee, I also had a daughter from an Italian (Franco Amurri, ed), what else should I do? I also have all the documentation in order but they tell me that I won't go back for two years, I'm too old: I hope someone can help me".
A heartfelt appeal from the actress, producer and activist that we hope will be accepted by our authorities.
