He never became an Italian citizen neither did his sons. Later on, this was one of causes of the financial bankrupt of the family. They were denied the refundings for war damages reserved for Italian citizens only, see "So wurde ein Schweizer zum reichster Venezianer". 20min.ch (in German). Doch dazu kam es nicht, denn die Zahlungen waren Italienern vorbehalten. Er selbst war aber wie sein Vater und Grossvater immer Schweizer geblieben.
