'Bernie knows that we are available,' Formula Imola president Uberto Selvatico Estense told Motorsport.com.
'He sent us a proposal that we signed and sent back to him. We will be very happy to have F1 back in Imola. Our main effort is to achieve this kind of result.
'It just depends on Angelo Sticchi Damiani. I think it's a political issue.
'We have an agreement with Bernie, and we only need the approval of the national sporting authority.
'If in the future there is not an Italian GP, it is only the problem of Mr Sticchi Damiani, who didn't allow this agreement.'
Imola last hosted a Grand Prix in 2006, where Michael Schumacher topped the podium, but has since undergone major redevelopment work. Last year's Italian Grand Prix at Monza was won by Mercedes' Lewis Hamilton.
