How long do I need to spend in Italy to obtain citizenship?

I completed my four-year college education in Italy six year ago then moved to the United States. Now I am thinking about moving back to Italy through its Golden Visa program. It granted a resident permit, when will I become eligible for citizenship, considering I have been a resident in the past?

Italian Law requires you to have been resident in Italy for at least 10 years. The fact that you have been resident in the past does not help you, as it cannot be added to new residence status newly granted. Unfortunately, you should have left Italy for a few months. Six years' time is too much.
