I need some info regarding FAA licensing based on a foreign certificate.

Long story short : in 2004 I was issued an FAA PPL based on my Italian CPL.

I went to california for a month after all the TSA screening (visa,fingerprints and so forth),did theory and flying exams and got an FAA CPL.

Now,since those days things in europe have changed,we moved from national licensing to JAR first and then EASA,I still have my FAA PPL based on the old italian licence.

Now,I have a bought a beautiful cessna registered N,and I got my class 3 FAA medical as it makes no sense to do a class 2.

The question,if anyone can help,is: How do I change my FAA PPL from stating that it is no longer based on the old Italian CPL but on the now EASA CPL?

the licence is the same,it's just called a different way.

Many thanks to all those who can help.

Isn't there a provision in the FAA regs that allows you to fly an N registered aircraft in a foreign country on the foreign license of that country?

I understand that to be the case but cannot find the rule
