My Italian grandmother never naturalized in the US, am I eligible?

As the title suggests, my brothers and I have ascertained that it’s very likely that my grandmother, born in 1898, never naturalized when she followed my grandfather to the US. Thus, it appears we are eligible for Italian citizenship. Is this correct? If so, where do I start?

Since I am in the US, do I need to prove that she never naturalized? Would that mean I need to filed for a citizen of nonexistence (CONE)? USCIS? Quite honestly, we are thinking of hiring a lawyer to navigate this process. It feels that despite the cost, it may be worth it. Thoughts?

Thanks so much!
