There are many factors that will determine if you qualify for Italian dual citizenship, like whether a female ancestor was born before or after January 1, 1948, or if citizenship rights were surrendered in the naturalization process of a United States citizen. Italian citizenship laws allow dual citizenship in a variety of circumstances.
