Atto — Italian civil-record genealogy kit

Silent tiles — import → soft-flag → you approve → export.

Soft-flag

Human approve before tree changes — You approve

Export open formats on your Mac — Export

The packet is the hard part

Messy PDFs, name discrepancies, and missing civil acts burn time. Government fees are typically non-refundable; a focused tool costs far less than full-service retainers. Atto does not claim to prevent rejection — it helps you organize what you gather.

This is / isn’t

This is

A local organizer for civil records you collect
Suggest-only research aids — you decide merges
Soft-flags on gaps — not legal verdicts
Files on your Mac in open formats

This isn’t

An attorney or eligibility service
Cloud auto-merge of your tree
A Prenot@Mi bot or appointment scraper
An Ancestry-style hosted family tree

Law firms that handle full-service jure sanguinis packets typically charge thousands. Atto is the DIY organizer layer — not a retainer. After checkout you receive a license claim link and the kit download instructions.

Which Macs?: Apple Silicon (M1–M4), macOS 13+. Intel Macs are not in this kit.
