Who we are

Specialists in certified translation since 2021

Estudio Bella Ciao was born in 2021, in the middle of the pandemic, out of María Candela Uda's conviction to bring the Italian language closer to people who dreamed of learning it, even from a distance, through online classes. That first bridge between people and languages grew, over time, into a studio specialized in certified translation and in guiding clients through citizenship procedures.

Today Bella Ciao has a presence in Argentina, Spain and Italy, and works alongside a team of collaborators and professionals specialized in legal and case-management areas, who support every client throughout the whole process.

María Candela Uda is a registered Italian Translator, listed with the Association of Translators of Tucumán, and leads the studio ensuring every translation meets the legal validity and quality standards each procedure demands.

Italian citizenship

Translation & support for Italian citizenship

We support people pursuing Italian citizenship by descent (jure sanguinis), whether through the administrative route or the judicial route, translating and certifying the documentation each consulate, comune or court requires — also for university enrollment and other procedures in Italy.

We don't leave you alone with the translation. We support the whole process: we review your family tree, advise you on which route applies to your case, locate missing records, handle apostilles and legalizations, and build and follow your file through to final submission.

Our strong suit

Legalization and second apostille, or asseverazione

We work with the two validity circuits your documentation may require:

  • Legalization and second apostille — valid for Italian consulates anywhere in the world.
  • Asseverazione (sworn translation before a court) — for procedures filed directly in Italy.
  • Review of your family tree and guidance on the route that fits your case.
  • Translation of birth, marriage and death records.
  • Translation of non-naturalization certificates.
  • Adapting apostilled records into Italian.
  • Italian citizenship through the administrative route, judicial route, and documentation for Italian universities.
  • Guidance on the Codice Fiscale (Italian tax identification code).
  • Locating and reconstructing records when one is missing from your line of descent.
  • Building and following your file through to final submission.

Missing a record in your family line and not sure if you can move forward? We'll review your family tree and help you locate or reconstruct the right document.

Spanish citizenship

Full support & translation for Spanish citizenship

We support you through the whole process to start or continue your Spanish citizenship or nationality procedure.

  • Review of your case and family tree to define which documentation you need.
  • Locating records in historical archives, parishes or Spanish civil registries.
  • Requesting certified copies or reconstructing missing records.
  • Apostilles and legalization of documentation.
  • Building your file and guidance on the regulations that apply to your case.
  • Follow-up and support through submission to the relevant body.

Every case is different: that's why we review your specific situation before telling you what documentation you need, how to get it, and who handles each step.

Frequently asked questions

Everything you need to know

A certified translation is signed and validated by a registered translator, with legal validity before official bodies. Depending on the country and the receiving institution, the same translation may also be called a sworn or official translation. At Bella Ciao we always work to the formal requirements each procedure and country demands.

Yes. We work specifically with documentation for Italian and Spanish citizenship procedures, as well as immigration, academic and judicial processes, adapting each translation to the requirements of the receiving body.

These are the two validity circuits a procedure may require. Legalization and second apostille apply for Italian consulates outside Italy. Asseverazione (sworn translation before an Italian court) is required for procedures filed directly in Italy. We tell you which one applies to your case.

Turnaround depends on the type of document, number of pages and language. Once we receive your request, we confirm an estimated turnaround before starting.

Yes, the whole process is 100% online. You can send us a photo or PDF of your document by WhatsApp or email and we'll walk you through the next steps, wherever you are.

The Codice Fiscale is the Italian tax identification number issued by Italy's Ministry of Finance, required for citizenship procedures, opening accounts or other dealings with Italian authorities. We guide you on how to apply for it.

This is a common situation in citizenship cases. Depending on the type of document and country, we can request a certified copy, reconstruct the record, or locate it in historical archives.

We support you through the entire process, not just the translation. We review your family tree, advise you on which route applies, locate missing records, and follow your case through until it's filed.

Yes, this is one of our priority lines of work. We offer dedicated support to case managers, agencies, law firms, immigration advisors and citizenship agencies that need certified translations for their clients' documentation.

Yes. Besides Argentina and Spain, we serve clients across all of Latin America and the Hispanic/Italian-American community in the United States, entirely online.
