Dear @sparo17,
Welcome back to the Wefugees Community and thank you for your question.
Our platform and our experts are based in Germany. Therefore, I am afraid that we are not able to share too many information/experience on immigration procedures and requirements in Italy. I am sure that the required documents etc. will also vary depending on the type of residence permit the person is applying for. For an overview on the visa types and detailed information on the conditions, plase see the website of the Italian Embassy in the US.
All the best,
Meike
