The Passport AKA "il lasciapassare A38"

When i was a child getting a passport was like a dream,a momentous event that will enable me to leave the horrible little town i was born into and open the doors to amazing locations and exotic destinations (to be fair up to 15 the most exotic place i visited was Switzerland !?! )
The path that led me to my first passport was long at first i did not have a passport, i was "part" of my parents passport, when i got to 11 i got a strange green wallet, at 13 I graduated to an ID card and finally with the move to the UK i got my Passport.

So when the time came for Amy to get her passport (after all she has got dual nationality) i was duly excited; she will have not 1 passport but 2!!!!
yuppieee
Just after we registered Amy at Lambeth council we started thinking about passports and we started gathering information on how to get them...
In a matter of hours we realised that getting a British passport was pretty straight forward:
-get birth certificate
-get wedding certificate (translated by any registered translation agency in the UK)
-get form from the post office
-pay fee
-get passport
all pretty straight forward....
we then called the Italian Consulate to get instructions on how to obtain the Italian passport; it became immediately clear that it would not be so simple ... after 5 minutes on the phone with the very helpful assistant i was reminded of Asterix and his 12 tasks:

A few weeks down the line we are still lost in the burocratic iter that will one day lead to the "lasciapassare A38" but just a few days ago we got a letter in the post

Amy was all excited:

and indeed in a matter of 5 days we got Amy's british passport:

So we are all ready to go... Italy here we come, tomorrow it is going to be Amy's first flight
