Please ease my confusion

5 years ago
Hi everyone. My post is long so please be patient with me :) Can someone please tell me if i apply for the "Permesso Di Sogiorno" in Italy does that allow me to live in Italy permanently? Is yes, do i just keep renewing it? At the end of 5 years of renewing it, do i have the option to become a resident of Italy or a citizen of Italy? As a resident can i live in Italy forever? With the "Permesso Di Sogiorno" do i need to prove i have an apartment or house in my name?
Can a B&B or hotel address be used if staying longterm in them while processing documents? What other things do i have to prove with the "Permesso Di Sogiorno.? A friend of mine who receives SSDI from America will also be applying for "Permesso Di Dogiorno" but they receive SSDI from Social Security in USA. Will they have to pay any taxes to Italy on SSDI with "Permesso Di Sogiorno"? So, what is the difference between getting a "Dual Citizenship" & "Permesso di Sogiorno" or "Dual Citizenship", right now he is on SSDI and pays no taxes in the USA because SSDI is considered non-working income. If i want to get a 'Dual Citizenship' can i apply in Italy. What is the cost? Will any city in Italy process this? How long does it take?? Also for either one of these do i need to stay in Italy while processing? Also for either one of these that i listed do they need the ORIGINAL documents and DO THEY KEEP THE ORIGINALS?, or just copy them?
