* If an Italian ancestor in your direct line is a woman (you, your mother, your grandmother), born before January 1, 1948, she can only claim Italian citizenship from her father, and can only pass Italian citizenship to her children (male or female) if they were born after January 1, 1948. If this is the only bar to your eligibility, you may still have your citizenship recognized by having your application reviewed by the courts in Italy.
