Where could I look for and/or get a copy of an Emergency Certificate of British Nationality issued to an Italian national in 1922?

If such records survive, the most likely place would be the NA in records of the foreign office (FO):

I would first just search on the name (or just surname) - you might be in luck as some of their files appear to have been more fully indexed:
