I am pretty sure that you can only claim citizenship through a great-grandfather. Only after 1948 did citizenship begin to be passed through maternal lines. Thus, your grandmother would not even be considered a citizen if her father was not also an Italian citizen at the time of her birth. General requirements are listed on the Consulate General of LA's website: http://www.conlang.com/english/2002html-en/recog-citizen-descent2.html
