There should be some chances you might qualify.

For the documents needed for the italian citizensgip by descent I would suggest the you to watch the video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O-AYGIah8u0

If I might, I would suggest you to contact an italian lawyer specialized in italian citizenship by descent (ius sanguinis). I do not know how much they ask for their services, but from what I heard around, they should be capable to save you a lot of time, as it could take you years to get it (see on youtube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n0Ozxa0A9oM )

Good luck in your search

One factor which could play a role is if your father was born before your grandfather became a naturalized American citizen. However, contacting an Italian lawyer specializing in Italian citizenship by descent is definitely the way to go.
