Italian citizenship can be gained by birth, descent, marriage or naturalization.

3. NATURALISATION

Required legal residence in Italy for:

◦3 years for descendents of former Italian citizens up to the second degree and for foreigners born on Italian soil;
◦4 years for citizens of a European Union country;
◦5 years for Stateless persons and refugees, as well as for adult foreigners over the age of 18 adopted by Italian citizens;
◦7 years for children adopted by Italian citizens before the entry into effect of Law no. 184/1983;
◦10 years for non-EU citizens.
No period of legal residence is required for foreigners who have been employed in the service of the Italian Republic for a period of at least 5 years, also abroad.

I'd certainly suggest she follows up on that route
